Israel (Visit to)

Summary: A fine introduction for young readers
Review: This is one of those books published by an educational publisher for the purpose of selling more books to school libraries; the authors have published children's books in every field imaginable, and so are experts on everything and nothing. This might explain the page in this book that says that "many famous musicians, such as Zubin Mehta, have come from Israel" (Mehta is, of course, Indian). That said, this is a perfectly fine book for readers 4-8; most of each page is a picture, with no more than 25 words per page in big print. (Do tell your kids that Mehta is not an Israeli, however.)
