Seven weeks later, they stand at Mount Sinai as the Ten Commandments are given to the Israelites.The rich array of more than 75 full-color photos, 50 playful illustrations, and a dozen classic Jewish legends and stories are sure to delight readers. Eighteen colorful holiday stickers, which students can affix to a beautifully illustrated Treasure Trail map, and a Certificate of Achievement give readers tangible evidence of their progress, motivating them and giving them a sense of accomplishment. Readers—and their families—are invited to go online and explore www.elijahrocks.net for holiday games and activities to share, and holiday dictionaries, blessings and word puzzles to print out.
