The colorful artwork of Seva wonderfully enhances a charming and simple board-book text by Devorah Glazer that serves to introduce preschool children to Judaism's holiday observances and festivals including Tishrei, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, and Simchat Torah. Each page also features a tactile enhancement that will delight young pre-readers. A Touch Of The High Holidays is enthusiastically recommended for family, preschool, kindergarten, and day care board-book collections.

A Touch of the High Holidays is a novelty board book. It includes all the Jewish holidays that occur in the month of Tishri, from Rosh Hashanah to Simchat Torah. Two page spreads describe several aspects of each holiday before settling on one that is reinforced by something to touch. Feel the many textures of our holidays - the stickiness of honey, the smoothness of a machzor cover, the bumpiness of an esrog, and the velvety softness of a Torah cover. Best of all, children will see themselves in a sukkah. Definitely a hands-on winner.

What a wonderful way to introduce kids to this special time of year! The various sensations just makes everthing come to life!
