Our children are our most precious treasure. Let’s help them grow into the best possible version of themselves.
The stories were all very nice and each one taught a lesson. Illustrations were also nicely done. It appeared in a few places the rhyme scheme might’ve been a little off. Children will really enjoy these books.
Wonderful book! We have been reading the digital version with my almost four year old daughter and always discover a new theme to talk about that is inspired by the book. Highly recommend it.
Israeli author David Gershkovitz earned his degrees in Psychology, Criminology, and Special Ed, served in the Israeli Air Force, and in addition to writing children’s books he is a representative of the AJJDC (American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee) in both central Russia and the Ukraine. His book is enhanced by the illustrations of Shaul Dadon.
The entertaining (and beneficially supportive) stories are related in charming rhyme. The collection opens with The Lion Cub, and to share the author’s style, the story opens as follows: ‘In a gage in eh zoo, just before dawn, a sweet baby lion was happily born. He was cute and tiny, and right away, he was frisky and jolly and ready to play.’ The story involves a discussion between son and father in which the father shares his childhood of freedom before being taken to a zoo, and how that initiates the loin cub’s mission to free the zoo animals. The moral: ‘If you just do your best you’ll succeed and find glory…all that matters is having a kind, open heart.’
In a similar fashion the other stories - The Brave Fish, The Little Ship, and Lou the Cat – combine a beautifully written and illustrated journey with the animals that carry messages important for youngsters to enjoy – and absorb.
Solid writing beautifully enhanced with fine illustrations – this is an exceptionally fine children’s book on every level. Very highly recommended.
