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.
