5.0 out of 5 stars Tzedakah and the Precious Pushke, April 19, 2002

This review is from: Tzedakah and the Precious Pushke: Sounds of Sharing and Caring (Hardcover)

I was asked to review this book and CD for our library and decide where to place it in the library. It was a pleasure listening to the CD and reading the book one Sunday afternoon. The CD filled my house with love and warmth as it reverberated with stories and music. I especially enjoyed it because it spoke of how one can help other people and do a 'mitzvah'! The 'pushke' was an added extra which I was hoping the library could use to encourage people to do good things for others. I believe this book is worldly and important to everyone especially during these troubled times. Both young people and adults will enjoy it. I especially related to the mother who enthusiastically chauffeured her children around to all of their activities. I did place the book in the 'Parenting' section of our library so that adults could read it along with their children in order to share the warmth and love! Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Important lessons for your children, April 16, 2002

This review is from: Tzedakah and the Precious Pushke: Sounds of Sharing and Caring (Hardcover)

This is more than just a book, its a kit. Besides a beautifully illustrated book, it comes with a CD containing tons of great music (which my kids, ages 3-9, all love) and a cardboard foldout that you can make into your own "Precious Pushke".

Before I read the book I didn't know what a Precious Pushke was. Some of you will already know and realize that its something you should take the time to teach your kids about.

This book is about the power of giving and sharing. The Pushke is where you keep your spare pennies to give. No matter how many pennies you put into the Pushke somehow there is always room for more! A great lesson for the whole family!
