My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Category: Hardcover
Full Hebrew Title: נומה נים נומה נים מתוקה שנת הבונים
Author's Name in Hebrew: שרי דסקי רינקר
Age: 1-6+ years
Synopsis: With lyrical rhymes and beautiful illustrations, this top-selling book describes what Excavator and his fellow construction crew, including Dump Truck and Bulldozer, do after a long day of “rough-and-tough construction play”: they take a bath, snuggle into their dirt beds, and go to sleep.
Bilingual benefit: The English language version of the book is like Shakespeare for a lil one obsessed with wheels. The lyrical language rhymes well, is enjoyable to read out loud, and, I hope, will inspire a love of poetry…or perhaps just cement my son’s love of trucks. While the language may seem rather high for a toddler, Israel is one giant construction site and our son loves to point out all the cranes, excavators, and bulldozers. For over a year, this book was a favorite with regular requests to read and shrieks of joy when I suggested it.
Availability in Israel: The English version of the book does not appear to be readily available in Israel but can be ordered online. While I have never seen the Hebrew version in any of the brick and mortar bookstores in Israel, it is available for order online from Israel's major booksellers.
Previewing the book: This book is available for preview on Amazon USA. (last checked 01/06/2015).
Lil guy: An all-time favorite.
Mama: Highly recommended. I would buy this again and for a friend. I also recommend checking out another delightful bedtime story from the same author - "Steam Train, Dream Train." You can also check out all my reviews of books that received 5 of 5 stars.

ReplyDeleteObviously, the construction business is seriously broken and needs fixing. How does the business ascend and address the difficulties of client interest for higher quality, improved gainfulness, and the lack of talented specialists?Kotakdesain
