Why the Moon Only Glows By Dina Rosenfeld |
This Midrash, retold for very young children, features two small
children, Leah and Dov. The children ask their abba (father) to
retell the story why the sun shines so brightly and the moon can
only glow. The retold Midrash is rhymed which makes it more
attractive to children and the illustrations add immeasurably to
the story line. As the author suggests, a lesson can also be
taught from the story, namely, that one should be satisfied
with whatever he gets and not begrudge the good fortune of
others. The book is charming and delightful and can be enjoyed
by youngsters from preschool age up.
