Book Reviews of The Jewish Child's First Book of Why
Book Review: A nice overview for children
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a Christian, married to a Buddhist, who is raising my child as a Christian. We want to raise our son to have an appreciation for all beliefs. I purchased this book on a visit to the Skirball Cultural Center in LA because I wanted to be able to continue to point out parallels in the various faiths and to start giving him something to tie his understanding to. I think this is a marvelous book for doing just that for young children. I'd love to find similar books about other faiths! I would say that this book is geared for a child of 4 or 5. I would probably push that age younger for a child being raised in the Jewish Faith as the subjects covered would be part of their everyday life at a young age. I would highly recommend this book.

The text is enhanced by the lively full-color illustrations of one of Israels leading contemporary artists. For ages four and up.Jewish Books
