5.0 out of 5 stars Creating a sensory memory of cultural traditions, December 15, 2005

This review is from: The Sounds of My Jewish Year (Very First Board Books) (Board book)

Truth in reviewing: I shared a bedroom with the illustrator when we were very young. Therefore, it goes without saying that the illustrations are excellent. Also, I am not Jewish, but I was raised among the traditions and know a little something about children's books. Those issues aside, I see a wonderfully interactive book that conveys cultural traditions on a sensory level that preschoolers can appreciate. Each holiday has an associated sound that the child who is being read to or the child who is reading it will enjoy recreating, like the crunch, crunch of eating holiday-related foods. This not only acquaints the child with his/her own faith but would be a fine way to introduce the culture to non-Jewish children.
