How better to introduce young children to Tu B'Shevat, the birthday
of the trees, than through colorful pictures that show what the
holiday is all about?
In this colorful board book, a child can see a young family
planting trees, feeding birds, and filling plates with the
traditional figs, nuts and dates. Each page repeats the phrase 'Tu
B'Shevat is coming' until the holiday finally arrives and is
properly celebrated with outdoor fun.
This book, part of a series that introduces different Jewish
holidays, is a lovely teaching tool that can be used both at home
and in preschool programs. This selection, like the others in the
series, is both appealing and educationally sound.
Recommended for ages 1 to 5. - Jewish Book Council
