ALEF-BET BY MICHELLE EDWARDS
In July, PJ readers in our
Bagels and Lox (2 to 3 years) Age Group received
Alef-bet by Michelle Edwards.
Alef-bet is more than a child’s introduction to modern Hebrew; it is also a joyous portrait of a special family.
“On the surface,” writes Jewish parenting blogger Amy Meltzer, "
Alef-bet by Michelle Edwards is just an alphabet book in Hebrew.” After all, she points out, each page of the book introduces a letter of the Hebrew alphabet and offers a word for each letter. “But the illustrations tell a story all their own, of a Hebrew-speaking family with a real life,” Meltzer quickly adds.
