1: What Makes Someone a Jew?
In simple, rhyming text, Lauren Seidman provides answers to the question posed in the title of this delightful picture book that celebrates diversity. "You don't have to look a certain way to be Jewish," Seidman reasons, but rather it is the values one lives by that matter. Large color photographs of Jewish children from a variety of ethnic backgrounds will engage young children, and offer them a broader perspective of the Jewish community in the United States and beyond. This book holds special appeal for children who have been adopted by Jewish families, as they will likely find within its pages photographs of other Jewish children that look like them. Although intended for a pre-school audience, What Makes Someone a Jew? could also be used with older children to encourage discussions about Jewish identity. The book's positive focus on the traditions and values shared by all Jews, and its inclusive and tolerant message make it a worthy purchase for libraries and schools serving young children and families with young children. For ages 2 - 6. Reviewed by Alison Kelly

Excellent pictures. Easy for children to identify with. Definately a book to use in a Hebrew School Classroom.

3: A gem
The wonderful rhymes and message will stay with you for a long time. Kids love the pictures of all the children like and unlike themselves, making them feel very much a part of a larger, and diverse, community.

4: Fabulous!
A wonderful, delightful book for any kid. Both of my boys love it and like looking at the beautiful pictures. A great addition to a collection and nice way to introduce kids to religious diversity.

5: Perfect for all children
Seidman's book is pure and simple. A direct address to children about the meaning of being Jewish. To the point. No proselytizing, just the basic tenets of love, sharing and caring. Beautiful photographs.
