I LIVE IN ISRAEL
By Max Frankel and Judy Hoffman

 [cover]
A classroom tour of Israel as seen through the eyes of boys and girls who live there. The friendly first-person voices of the fictional Israeli youngsters lead your students on a grand tour.

Stops include:

  • King Solomon's Jerusalem--and the children who lived there them
  • Modern-day Haifa and Safed--and the children who live there now
  • Snorkeling in the Red Sea--and why we call it "Red"
  • A community in the Negev that uses solar energy
  • An ancient tunnel in Jerusalem
  • And much more

Word games, puzzles, maps, mazes, and dozens of other activities engage children's imaginations, making their visit come alive.
