Jewish Child's First Book of Why

In this beautifully illustrated book, the author of The Jewish Book of Why and The Second Jewish Book of Why turns his attention to subjects of interest to children, particularly those between five and ten years of age. In direct and simple language, Rabbi Kolatch explains the significance of some of the most fascinating traditions and customs of Judaism and introduces the child to the major and minor holidays in the Jewish calendar. The easy-to-read text is enhanced by the lively full-color illustrations of Harry Araten, one of Israel's leading contemporary artists.
