The Hebrew Alphabet Book of Rhymes: For English Speaking Kids

This first book in our "A Taste of Hebrew for English Speaking Kids" series focuses on the Hebrew Alphabet. In this book, the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet are illustrated and spelled out in English and in Hebrew. Based on the alphabet, 22 basic Hebrew words, appropriate for young children, are taught in a fun way. The words that are selected, one for every Hebrew letter, are written in Hebrew, transliterated and translated into English, and depicted with an attractive illustration. Each Hebrew word included in the book is incorporated into little English rhymes that will help kids and adults recognize the Hebrew Alphabet and learn foundational words in this beautiful language. The book also offers a Hebrew Alphabet chart, a transliteration guide, and proper pronunciation help with 'sounds like...' examples. A bit about the history of Hebrew as well as fun facts about this beautiful language is also included.
