Join Zvu­vi, the fly, and his cousin Zaha­va as they buzz all around Israel. Begin­ning in Jerusalem, they zoom to dozens of inter­est­ing sites. With a smat­ter­ing of facts about each loca­tion, accen­tu­at­ed by a few words in Hebrew and lots of excite­ment, the two flies show read­ers things that make Israel so spe­cial. Join them for lunch as Zvu­vi nib­bles ​“on a falafel ball that has fall­en to the ground at Machaneh Yehu­dah…” Then find him as he hides in Soreq Cave and learn about sta­lac­tites and sta­lag­mites along the way. The adven­tur­ous Zvu­vi is almost swat­ted by a cook in Abu Ghosh, then bare­ly escapes the jaws of an alli­ga­tor in Hamat Gad­er. From lunch at Lake Kin­neret to scu­ba div­ing in Eilat, the two flies cov­er the entire coun­try. A map of Israel is includ­ed to help read­ers locate their many stop­ping points. Zvuvi’s Israel is both enter­tain­ing and infor­ma­tive; an excel­lent intro­duc­tion to the many won­der­ful cities and attrac­tions Israel has to offer. For ages 6 – 10.
