For every letter of the alphabet Richard Michelson focuses on some aspect of Jewish life. For the letter B he tells us about Bar and Bat Mitvahs, the coming of age ceremonies that signify that a young person is no longer a child. For the letter C he tells us about challah, a special bread that Jews eat on the Jewish Sabbath. This braided bread is a just one of the many special foods that Jews make.
This book can be enjoyed on several levels because each topic includes a poem, an illustration, and then a longer section of text. Young children can look at the pictures, and they can either have the poems read to them, or they can read them themselves. Older children will enjoy reading the more involved sidebar text. It is here that they will find out further details about Jewish religious practices, history, and customs.
This is just one in a splendid collection of alphabet book published by Sleeping Bear Press. Other topics covered include cats, poetry, music, and China. --Through The Looking Glass, December 2009
"A is for Abraham" appears to be inexorably headed for greater regional, national and even international recognition. Sophisticated yet accessible and child-friendly, whimsical yet respectful, offering a multi-dimensional understanding of Judaism relatable to people of all ages and faiths, stunningly beautiful, and encyclopedically informative without being at all pedantic, the book holds the promise of becoming a genuine classic. --Judy Polan, Jewish Ledger, Decembre 19, 2008
