Semitic Tales: Accidental Hebrew for Christians

by Michael Ben Zehabe

Updated cover edition found here.

These are bed time stories that teach your children Hebrew without their realizing it. The stories are written in English, but the opposing page will give you the option of inserting a few Hebrew words (at your discretion). All the potential Hebrew words come from the book of Jonah. If your children are not careful, they will accidentally learn how to read the book of Jonah, while they enjoy seemingly unrelated, biblically based, children's stories. The entire experience is effortless, but enjoyable. Yet, the method is educational. There are only 100 unique Hebrew words in the book of Jonah. This story book is designed to acquaint them with a large portion. They will also be ready for other, more advanced books, in the Jonah Project.

Semitic Tales: Accidental Hebrew for Christians was one of those books, for me, that peaked my curiosity immediately. I love reading Christian books but this one was full of cute little stories written for children to help passively teach them life lessons. The stories were fun and easy to read and would be great to read to children. Even if you aren't a Christian, I feel that this book is a good teaching tool for life lessons for children. I will definitely be recommending it to all the parents of young children in my life!
