Reading Welcome to Israel, children meet Israeli kids their own age, who show them Israel from Tiberias to Eilat and teach them about Israel's history, geography, politics, and culture. Children also see the day-to-day lives of their new Israeli friends, who write e-mails in Hebrew and go hiking in the footsteps of their biblical ancestors. Creative and interactive features of Welcome to Israel keep children fascinated by the wonders of Israel. These engaging elements include probing questions that stimulate critical thinking, map-reading activities that teach Israel's geography, key Hebrew words with English translation, and discussions of Jewish values. Full-color photos, maps, and whimsical illustrations make the excitement of Israel come alive. Biblical quotations deepen the book's historical and spiritual perspectives. Welcome to Israel inspires love of Israel!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good and brief overview of Israel,
This review is from: Welcome to Israel! (Paperback)
This book is good for the 9-12 year olds in giving a brief overview of Israel. It is relatively up to date (just missing the latest outbreak of terrorism and fighting between the Israelis and Palestinians of the past year). I liked the stimulating and thought provoking questions asked which can lead into good class/family discussions. I also like the Hebrew words which are introduced in the various chapters and the mini biographies. The book is mostly filled with illustrations and a sprinkling of photos. I would have liked more photos. I feel this book would be an asset in home, school and synagogue libraries.

This review is from: Welcome to Israel! (Paperback)
Chock full of information, but at the same time pictures, illustrations and activities on each page break up the text and draw kids in.
