This book is part of a series called A Taste of Hebrew pub­lished by Mazor Books. The series includes books on Hebrew let­ters and num­bers, as well. This time, the read­er is invit­ed to fol­low a trav­el­ing rain­bow to Israel in order to learn the names of the col­ors in Hebrew along with two chil­dren named Ami and Tami. The text rhymes suc­cess­ful­ly and rhyth­mi­cal­ly which is not always achieved in children’s books of this kind. The illus­tra­tions are bright, cheer­ful and are filled with deep col­ors which seem to sat­u­rate the page. This cre­ates an over­all tone which is upbeat, young, and fun and which will attract young read­ers. On the whole, the book is age-appro­pri­ate and appeal­ing. There is some use­ful mate­r­i­al in the back which will be help­ful for fam­i­lies in learn­ing and teach­ing the Hebrew words includ­ing some gram­mar tips, charts with the mas­cu­line and fem­i­nine forms of the col­ors, and some addi­tion­al bonus words which are relat­ed to the themes in the book. Through­out the book, the Hebrew words are translit­er­at­ed into Eng­lish and shown in Hebrew, as well. There is also a pro­nun­ci­a­tion guide for par­ents. Chil­dren will enjoy this hap­py frol­ic with the rain­bow as they learn the names of col­ors in Hebrew.

Rec­om­mend­ed for ages 3 – 8.
