Thank You, God! A Jewish Child's Book of Prayers
PreSchool-Grade 2-Soft watercolors and a simple text introduce Jewish liturgy and tradition. These prayers honor daily experiences, holidays, and even death. Brief explanations precede each Hebrew prayer, followed by a phonetic transliteration (with an explanatory guide) and an English phrase usually thanking God for his blessings. Pastel illustrations, often used as a border, focus attention on the varying sizes of text. Containing more blessings and gentler pictures than Michelle Edwards's Blessed Are You (Lothrop, 1993), this is an excellent choice for family sharing and to balance religious collections.Bonnie Siegel, Westacres Public Library, West Bloomfield, MICopyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
