To make this book easy to follow and understand, the author has broken the information up into thirty-two different questions. Each question is presented on its own page with large, easy to read text. The author uses large text to ensure it is easy to follow along with and presents the questions in bold, which makes it easier to focus on each question individually. Each page also has an illustration that specifically relates to the question being answered. The bright colors and kid friendly characters used capture the reader’s attention and makes the book fun to read. This author also incorporated many commonly used Hebrew words and phrases to go along with the explanations, which gives the reader even more of an opportunity to learn the information. I believe that the use of Hebrew throughout the text also contributes to the engagement of reading. Learning the words in Hebrew gives the reader a better understanding of the Jewish religion and culture, making the information in the text much more meaningful.
Another way the author captures the reader’s attention and keeps them engaged is through a detailed layout of the book. At the beginning of the book, there is a table of contents that outlines all of the questions being answered, making it easy for readers to find what interests them most and what they really want to learn about. For example, if the reader wants to know the answer to the question “Why do we say ‘Shalom’?” they can simply look at the table of contents and find exactly what they’re looking for. The author and illustrator incorporated these aspects in order to make learning the information fun without overloading the reader with too much detail. For example, when the reader turns to the page with the question “Why do we say ‘Shalom’?” the bright colored illustration and the easy to read text makes learning new information stress free.
The author’s fun, easy to read book gives all readers the opportunity to expand their knowledge of their own culture or of a culture that is different than one’s own. The literary elements used, such as colorful, fun illustrations, large text that is simplistic and easy to read, the use of Hebrew words, and a layout that is easy to follow genuinely makes learning the information fun and simple. Through these elements, the author is able to effectively explain the significance of certain Jewish traditions and customs, and introduce the reader to some of the major and minor Jewish holidays, which is what this book aims to do.
