"Like the artist's Chicken Man and A Baker's Portrait, this has an informal warmth that will endear it to kids who already know or want to learn the Hebrew alphabet ... Clear, artful, and involving, this is a model of what foreign-language alphabets should be." —Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books
