Perfect for beginners,
By Reader (NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Celebrate: A Book of Jewish Holidays (Reading Railroad) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was a great introduction to Jewish holidays for my 3-year old. I have been introducing her to the basics of the major holidays as they come along over the past year, but the sweet, simple explanations and pictures in this book help her remember and begin to understand.

This review is from: Celebrate: A Book of Jewish Holidays (Reading Railroad) (Mass Market Paperback)
I debated about whether buying this book was really necessary, as a Christian homeschooler, but for $3.99 you really can't go wrong.We bought this little book for a unit on Jewish holidays but there are a million books out there on this subject. After going through whole stacks from the library, my little kids kept coming back to this one. The illustrations are really cute and friendly, especially for the kindergarten age. The stories are just long enough to hold their interest, and just easy enough for them to understand. My preschooler especially liked the Passover explanation with the little kids hunting for the afikomen. The bible stories aren't the most elaborate, so it will help for your kids to have external resources for most of them. But the basics are covered and again, the length and ease of the book keeps the kids coming back to review. Considering how difficult Hebrew can be, and learning ten new holidays can be slightly intimidating, this is a great accomplishment. All four of my kids mastered the basics after our unit, largely due to this book. There are many more elaborate books out there, and more beautiful ones, which are worth digging into, but this is functional and gets the job done.

Little long--my 5 y.o. was losing interest. But a good basic book to have, espec as a resource book. Informative and well-done. I like that it follows the Jewish calendar too in terms of doing the holidays in order.
