Customer Reviews

Great, beloved book

As a special ed preschool teacher, I have read this book to several children. Children love this book. It think it is for several reasons: 1.They enjoy the baking/cake theme. 2. They can relate to being sad about losing something. 3. The pictures and words are done well so that children can easily follow the storyline and empathize with the girl who loses her ring in a cake. Children rejoice with her when she finally gets her ring back. In addition the story teaches a good moral - to return lost objects.

An important virtue and principle

Thirty-One Cakes: A Hashavas Aveidah Story is a whimsical picture book written in rhyming verse by Loren Hodes, about Estie, a young Jewish girl whose ring falls into a cake. Yet she trusts in Hashavas Aveida, the code for returning lost things, and waits for the one who finds her ring to do the right thing and return it. A superb storybook with illustrations by Harvey Klineman, Thirty-One Cakes provides children age 2 to 5 with an important virtue and principle for people everywhere to follow.
