Part of Mazor’s Taste of Hebrew series, this book intro­duces Eng­lish-speak­ing chil­dren to count­ing in Hebrew from one to ten. A clever poem intro­duces the num­bers fol­lowed by a guide to translit­er­a­tions and a page for each num­ber accom­pa­nied by a bright illus­tra­tion with Hebrew and Eng­lish text. At the end of the book there is a series of tables neat­ly lay­ing out the Hebrew term, the Eng­lish term, the translit­er­a­tion, and the Hebrew gen­der forms for both the car­di­nal and ordi­nal num­bers as well as both the sin­gu­lar and the plur­al forms of each num­ber. A sim­ple, fine intro­duc­tion to or review of a basic Hebrew func­tion, this is learn­ing with a light touch. 

Rec­om­mend­ed for ages 3 – 6.
