Editorial Reviews

Nemeroff's illustrations are wonderful. From Afikoman to Zemiros, My Jewish ABC's is a fun book of learning and teaching and being Jewish.

Algemeiner Journal

There is nothing quite as taming for children as reading. However encouraging children to open books and read can be problematic today because of the seduction of television programs and video games.

Hachai Publishing of Brooklyn is determined to lure children back to the printed page by producing inviting, original and ultimately, educational, books. My Jewish ABC's, is an inventive way to introduce the English alphabet to children...using familiar objects that are part of a Jewish child's landscape, i.e.:

A is for Afikoman that Ari can hide.

This Pesach he'll ask for an Airplane to ride

What is also attractive to children, especially those just learning to read, are the rhyming verses, and these, printed in large clear type and illustrated with charming drawings, will become favorites. The added bonus is that this book is not just instructive in the English alphabet, it teaches the basics, the ABC's of Judaism as well.
