I was very fortunate to receive two wonderful books to review from the nice folks over at Artscroll.
The first book is called Look What My Parents Give Me

This book is all about what us parents give, teach and do for our children.
As we were reading through the book, it made me realize just how much we actually do for our kids! While I am all for my kids figuring out how to do things by themselves, this book made me feel like we, as parents, should actually take a little credit where credit is due!
Another wonderful thing about this book is that it gives our kids an awareness of how much we actually do for them. While it is not the most natural thing for a child to appreciate what their parents do, this book points out in a very sweet and gentle way just how much we help our kiddos grow.
We actually went through every page and discussed how mommy and daddy actually do each of these things- just like in the book.

The second book is called Imagine If,

Now if you have any Dr. Seuss fans in your house, this book is an absolute winner. In our house, we absolutely LOVE Dr. Seuss and to have a 'Jewish version' is just the best thing ever!
Its written in the exact same style as the Dr. Seuss rhyming books, but the story has depth and meaning with lots of Jewish words and names thrown in, as well as Jewish pictures which are drawn in that classic Dr. Seuss style.
Hands down, this book is the new favorite in our house and if Artscroll comes our with more volumes, we will be first in line to get them!

I hope you had a wonderful week,
Always,
Thanks for a great review! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the book so much!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the books Miriam, my little ones are on the couch as we speak paging through 'Imagine If.." looking at the adorable illustrations and loving every minute!
DeleteSeveral years ago I attended my niece's 8th grade graduation from a Jewish day school. the entire program consisted of the girls getting up and talking about their appreciation for their teachers and their parents. It was very inspiring and a good lesson in the importance of instilling this appreciation in children.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is Laurie!
