My Very Own Haggadah
Terrific for young children. Great illustrations and opportunity for child to color many drawings.

No more bored kids!
I used this service with my own kids and now my grandson has his own copy. A classic that has stood the test of time. A perfect length and style for a child's first seder. A must!

Kid Friendly Haggadah
This book is just right for the attention span of young children.The book has some Hebrew prayers(and the Hebrew is also written out phonetically) but it is mostly English.It is written so a first or secondgrade can participate in the Sedar by reading along. ... Read more

Wonderfully riveting Holocaust story. Life affirming!
This book is a tragic adventure. Anita Lobel recalls the arrival of the Nazis and the end of her childhood as she knew it. I was thankful this book was a fast read, the suspense of what would happen to Lobel and her brother was too much at times. The writing is beautiful and appropriate for young readers as well as adults. Beautiful photos.

A Deadly Game of Hide-and-Seek
Imagine playing hide-and seek, but you are hiding from the German Nazis because you are illegal. Every time they get close to you, a new hiding spot must be found, or your life will be put on the line. During the Holocaust, young Hanusiu played by these rules everyday. Told from a child's point of view, No Pretty Pictures is the memoir of Anita Lobel, earlier called Hanusiu, and her journey through the secrets, tears, and sacrifices of the Holocaust. Ms. Lobel did an amazing job describing everything that happened to her in those fatal years. One part that held excruciating description was when Hanusiu was forced into her first Concentration Camp. I felt as though I was walking into the camp alongside Hanusiu. The other prisoners, barracks, nervousness, and overall feeling of pain were expressed in a way that I cannot believe was seen through a child's eyes. Another major event that took place was when Hanusiu was diagnosed with tuberculosis after she had been rescued. She was forced to stay in a sanatorium for about a year and a half to cure the chronic disease. I could feel her hope and insecurities as each day passed, knowing that she might never get out. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a clear picture of what happened during the Holocaust, supported with lots of description, and seen through a true survivor's eyes.

Finally! A bible book for non-Christian children!
As a monotheist but neither Jewish nor Muslim, it has been almost impossible for me to find Bible/Religious stories to read to my 6 year old daughter.99% of the books are Christian based, and their interpration of their "Old Testament" is either foreign to non-Christians or they see everything as proof of the existance of their christ-god.Jewish books typically focus on Jewish Holidays and their Bible books aren't really made for young children.And I have been unable to find any Islamic books that cover these classic Bible stories.
Beautiful book but not for bedtime reading
This book is a beautiful book from an illustration perspective.However, it is not for bedtime reading with young children.The stories are quite detailed, and reading verbatim will take longer than anticipated.This book is best suited for the motivated child who reads well.Read more

A Caution
Those not familiar with Judaism should know that mainstream Judaism does not consider those who call themselves "Messianic Jews" as Jewish, in that some of their teachings contradict basic Jewish belief. This, therefore, would not be a good book to introduce children to Judiasm as it is practiced by the vast majority of Jewish people worldwide.

this is good
This is a good book for children (and adults) to understand what it means to be a Messianic Jew.(Messianic Jews are Jews and Christians who worship together in the Jewish style, and also usually live the Jewish lifestyle, but also believe in Jesus as the Messiah.)It talks about the special things that are done as a family.The illustrations are as coloring pages and are simple drawings.I am planning on ordering more copies for my Shabbat pre-school class. ...

The best picture book!
I'm in 7th grade and my teacher read this book to the class when we were learning about World War II. This book has stuck with me for a long time!!! After she read this book I could not stop thinking about it. If you read this book, make sure you have a box of tissues nearby.

Rose Blanche By: Roberto Innocenti
The time period is World War II. The main character is a small girl, named Rose Blanche. This is her story.
DUMBFOUNDED
I have never heard of this book I picked it up because the pictures are so lovely.I began to read and was struck by it's simplicity and power at the same time.
