Kids learn twenty Hebrew words that start with alef, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, in this unusual flip book. From one side mom (a word that starts with alef in Hebrew) goes through a typical day with her little one doing all things that start with alef, while from the "flip side," dad (the Hebrew word for dad also starts with alef) does the same. The family meets in the middle.

Alef is for Abba / Alef is for Ima is a flip book that focuses on a story with a child’s father in one part of the book and the mother in the other part. So, there are two separate stories told, one about Abba and one about Ima. Each page goes over a Hebrew word or phrase (the phrase is on the last page of both stories) by spelling it with letters from the Hebrew alef-bet, the English pronunciation of Hebrew, and then in English. The words and phrase that are described are illustrated so the children that have this book read to them (or are reading it themselves) can visualize what the words look like.I liked how this book provides two stories in one. I also liked how it goes over words in both Hebrew and English, since some or a lot of Jewish children in America probably use both Hebrew and English. And for the Jewish children that have families that do not use Hebrew regularly, this book will most likely plant some seeds of learning it at a young age. The Hebrew and English words are listed on each page, in a way that I do not think will confuse children, but instead help them to understand that the words mean the same thing, and just sound and look different in Hebrew and English. The illustrations are also really colorful and vibrant to me!Disclosure of Material Connection: I received a free copy of this book from Kar-Ben Publishing. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
If you want to teach a young reader some basic words in Hebrew here is your chance. This simply and colorfully illustrated story shares a day in the life of a young boy with his mother and father. Readers will learn that Abba in Hebrew means father and Ima is mother. Parents and teachers will have fun picking out other recognizable objects found throughout the pages. This fun flip book has two stories in one creative book. It's a great idea and would be an excellent addition to any home or school library.
this is perfect for my new grandson. it's simple enough to introduce Hebrew with important first Hebrew words, as well as beautifully and simply illustrated.. please write more of these ms kafka for each of the Hebrew letters. i'll buy them all. toda raba - thank you so much.
I like this book for my preschool class but it only covers Aleph. There are other books that cover all the letters that are better for reinforcing the aleph-bet.
so so
