Ahoy there Mateys! Gather ‘round and join the Aleph-Bais as they board their ship, ready to set sail. One by one the Hebrew letters make their way to the Aleph-Bais ship. Some hop by pogo stick, others fly in by airplane or hot air balloon, but come they do until they are all on board their old-time schooner. Well, almost everyone is there. It seems sof is missing. The letters set sail to find their lost companion. Once tucked safely aboard, the Aleph-Bet are ready to go. This is an adorable first look at the Aleph-Bet, according to the Ashkenazi pronunciation. The letters present themselves in Aleph-Bais order in the first half of the book, and then appear randomly in the latter half. They are cheerful card-shaped characters with smiley faces and sailor hats. The book pages are sturdy and plastic coated, perfect for little hands. For ages 2 – 5.
