Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Ages 3 mos.-6 yrs. Jules puts a Jewish spin on a bounty of finger plays, nursery rhymes, and clapping games, including both original poems and new takes on such familiar selections as "Pat-a-cake": "Pat-a-cake / Pat-a-cake / Baker's man. / Bake me a hamantash / Fast as you can!" The selections take primary schoolers through the Jewish year, teaching holiday traditions and Hebrew vocabulary through rhymes, rhythms, and simple hand and body actions. In eye-catching colors, the cheery artwork depicts the movements: a young girl sways, stretches, and bends to "A Flower for Shavuot"; a toddler and a mom laugh to the movements of "The Hungry Passover Mouse." A wealth of preschool and primary-school enrichment and at-home fun. Ellen Mandel

Jewish interactive learning,

This review is from: Clap and Count!: Action Rhymes for the Jewish Year (Carolrhoda Picture Books) (Hardcover)
This was bought for a Preschool to Kindergarten Sunday School class. The kids really loved that the book is interactive. They would remember the hand gestures from week to week.
