ENHANCE YOUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE. INTRODUCE THEM TO A FOREIGN LANGUAGE This first book in our "A Taste of Hebrew for English Speaking Kids" series focuses on the Hebrew Alphabet. In this book, the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet are illustrated and spelled out in English and in Hebrew. Based on the alphabet, 22 basic Hebrew words, appropriate for young children, are taught in a fun way.

The words that are selected, one for every Hebrew letter, are written in Hebrew, transliterated and translated into English, and depicted with an attractive illustration. Each Hebrew word included in the book is incorporated into little English rhymes that will help kids and adults recognize the Hebrew Alphabet and learn foundational words in this beautiful language. The book also offers a Hebrew Alphabet chart, a transliteration guide, and proper pronunciation help with 'sounds like...' examples. A bit about the history of Hebrew as well as fun facts about this beautiful language is also included.

THE JEWISH BOOK COUNCIL Review by Marge Kaplan

Written for very young children and the adults in their lives, The Hebrew Alphabet uses brightly-colored drawings to present Hebrew letters in Hebrew, in English, and in Hebrew transliteration. This is followed by a sweet rhyme. For example, the letter dalet shown in Hebrew along side a drawing of a teddy bear, which it is "dubi" in Hebrew, and an accompanying rhyme: "Tiny little Danny wants his pet in to come to bed; Mommy finds a DUBI to sleep with him instead." The words chosen to accompany the Hebrew letters such as dog, horse, or cake are all within the realm of a young child's vocabulary and the repetitive structure of each page makes it easier for little ones to learn what is being taught. Additionally, there is a lot of useful information included for adults. An authors' note points out that boys and girls who learn a second language"...have also been found to be better at learning, planning and self-control."Additional material teaches about the revival of the Hebrew language in the1800s by Eliezer Ben-Yehuda in the hope that reading and speaking Hebrew will give a lifelong connection to Israel and the Bible. Some phonetic pronunciation information about Hebrew is also included. This is the first book in a series and the authors promise that there will be more in the Taste of Hebrew for Kids Series to come. Recommended for children 3-8 years of age.
