Book Review: Kids' Fun Book of Jewish Time
Summary: 5 Stars

Lift! Turn! Pull! Learn! shouts the front cover of this beautiful book and rightly so. Author-illustrator Emily Sper parses the Jewish calendar in well laid out, clearly organized, colorful, sturdy pages. The book introduces the concepts of days, weeks, months, and a year as Jewish time. This book for tots is crammed with information. Some text is wordy; some vocabulary words too strong for targeted readers, but the mixture of English, Hebrew and transliteration keep the ideas flowing. Descriptions are fresh and age appropriate (for example: heavenly bodies as clocks and calendars, Shabbat as the time for a deep breath). The concepts of time and your actions in it end with a sweetly worded moral lesson. The bold, artistic illustrations support the words. Every concept has an interactive activity, and, as always, some action pages are easier to manipulate than others: the turning wheels and liftable flaps move easily; the pull-tabs tend to stick. The foil "glow" of the Havdalah candle is innovatively used. The volume buries education in charm and promises to be a delightful gift and a child pleaser.
Ages 4-8.
