Ronit Haham and Ami Rubinger

Here are two authors  with books for  preschoolers:

אמי רובינגר / Ami Rubinger

 and

רונית חכם / Ronit Haham

Ronit Haham writes stories, poems, and plays, especially for children.  According to the DafDaf website, Haham especially likes to write about witches because they can go wild and do all sorts of things that humans can't do.

Whenever I think of Ronit Haham, I always think of her book חמישה מכשפות הלכו לטייל / Five Witches Went for a Walk.  Five happy and colorful witches went for a walk to town. They had a great time scaring the people all around them.  As they were walking, they kept leaving a witch behind until there was only one witch left.The last witch was lonely so she pulled a broomstick out of her hair and started looking for her friends. Ages 4-6. 

ויקי בום / Vicki Boom is a little girl who is sitting under a fig tree eating cheese pancakes.A rose asks when  the party start.  Then the rose realizes her mistake and says there is no party.  But something is up!  Two chickens come by with a cake and candles and then three grasshoppers come by with giant violins. So what is going on?  Read the book to find out!  Each picture is a lovely, two-page spread. Ages 3-4.

I mentioned one of Ami Rubinger's books in a post from a few weeks ago. He's written and illustrated  quite a few books for 2-4-year-olds.  Even younger children will enjoy the simple and very brightly colored pictures.  Many of his books are available as board books.

כובע מקסים,כובע עם פסים / A Hat So  Nice,  A  Hat with Stripes is for the youngest listeners and readers.  Every animal has a different type of hat. A simple hat, a spotted hat, a square hat and many more types of hats.  Sometimes the text tells the reader what type of hat they are seeing. Sometimes the reader has to fill in what type of hat he's seeing.  The copy I have is a board book.  Ages 2-4.

!אין אריות כאילו /  There Are No Lions Like That! No lion sleeps in a bed or sings songs or has wings.  Children know that which is why the book is so funny.  Here's another book where they get to fill in the blanks and be part of the story. Ages 2-4.

A wonderful quote from one of my very favorite children's books!
