They're coming! Six new picture books are on their way to Behrman House for their Fall 2015 debut, but YOU can preview them before everyone else when you sign up for the Golem Express.
This year we are releasing 15 titles including four new picture books; Kayla & Kugel, Farmer Kobi's Hanukkah Match, Hanukkah Cookies with Sprinkles, and Avi the Ambulance, King David & Akavish the Spider, and The Littlest Pair.
Kayla’s dog Kugel is a big help as Kayla sets the table for Shabbat . . . despite a few paw prints on the tablecloth, a missing Kiddush cup, and other mishaps. When they’re done, even Kugel knows that a beautiful Shabbat needs one more thing—family!
Farmer Kobi’s well-mannered goats, donkey, and sheep know just how to play host, and they give Polly, Kobi’s Hanukkah guest, a gracious welcome. But when Polly isn’t sure animals belong in a house, what will happen next? Find out with laugh-out-loud pictures and puns that are sure to entertain all readers. As donkey says: Hee-Haw-Yahoo!
Sara watches from her apartment window as her mom goes to work. One day, she sees an old man pick up a bruised apple from the discarded pile next to Sol’s Market. Why would he do that? She wonders if he’s hungry, as she eats her own breakfast. She wonders if he’s lonely, as she shares Shabbat dinner with Mom and Grandma.
As Hanukkah approaches, a season of light and hope, Sara discovers that tzedakah can be as bright and colorful as a Hanukkah cookie with sprinkles.
Meet Avi the Ambulance! Avi dreams of being a life-saving ambulance just like his Mom, Dad, and big sister Maya. So what’s a young, ambitious ambulance to do? Go to school of course!
Avi learns all sort of important skills from the ambulance teacher at school: How to zig-and-zag and of course how to treat patients well and drive gently. This first book of the new Avi the Ambulance series will charm young readers, and give them a taste of Israel and the Jewish value of helping others.
When a young shepherd boy aims a stone at a spider’s web, he little dreams that it is the beginning of a lasting friendship – or indeed that the small creature will one day save his life. David and Akavish, the Spider is based on the Biblical story of King David, who admired the beauty of a spider’s web as a young shepherd, but couldn’t see the use of the small creature.
This simply written, but moving tale – not without its humorous moments – takes a memorable Biblical story, and shows us that one should not only be thankful to God for all the creatures God created.but also that by using one’s own wits and very special talents, anything becomes possible.
None of the animals want the termites to come aboard the Ark. After all, termites eat wood and Noah’s Ark was made of wood. But when the rains begin and the Ark starts to rock, all the animals slip and slide!
Can the littlest pair find a way to save the day and win over the other animals hearts?
