About
Rah, rah,
mu-JA-dara!
Lentil rice
tastes so nice!
A rhyming, rhythmic story follows a diverse group of Israeli children as they taste a variety of different ethnic foods found in Israel.
An introduction to the diverse people and foods of Israel for preschoolers, each page shows a headshot of a child eating. A red-headed boy eats hummus on bread; a girl of color enjoys mujadara, a classic Middle Eastern lentil and rice dish; another girl looks through the hole of a bagel, while another has just bitten into a falafel ball. Then there's a boy with peyos (sidelocks) eating a boreka, a popular pastry usually filled with potato or cheese, a girl anxious to eat pashtida (kind of like a crustless quiche), and a baby being fed shakshuka (an egg and tomato dish). Finally, someone is eating malawach (Yemenite flatbread) and a boy is eating schnitzel (breaded chicken cutlet).
The short rhymes ('It's a pitzel of a schnitzel! Crispy chicken, finger lickin') and the bright illustrations will make this a favorite, and it can be used with older kids for story time with themes of food and/or Israel.
