Chock full of information, but at the same time pictures, illustrations and activities on each page break up the text and draw kids in.
Good and brief overview of Israel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
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.
