Even the very youngest children know how important it is to greet guests and make them feel comfortable. However, most preschoolers don't focus on how to BE a considerate guest. In I Go Visiting, a cheerful brother and sister are overnight guests who really know what to do. Your child can follow them through an afternoon of sharing, helping, and cleaning up. In the evening, each one thanks their friend's mother, and listens to her when she says it's time to go to sleep. After a happy visit, they make the bed and remember to say, "Goodbye and thank you for having me stay!" Whether they are invited to a friend's house after school, or are planning to spend the night, I Go Visiting is the best preparation a child could have to be the perfect guest.

Bedtime is one of the most important parts of every child's day, and every parent wants it to be a warm and pleasant experience. In I Go to Sleep, a young brother and sister enjoy the comfort of their evening routine: putting things away, brushing teeth, preparing negel vasser, hugs, kisses, and saying Shema. As they settle down for sleep, they think happy thoughts about all the mitzvos they did throughout the day. Written in simple rhyming verse, with soothing watercolor illustrations, I Go to Sleep is sure to become a beloved part of bedtime in every home!

Of course, the farmer feeds his animals before eating anything himself. Then it's on to the orchard and the fields, picking a huge basket of fruits and vegetables to enjoy. It's been a day to discover so much about Hashem's world and to appreciate the different foods that Hashem provides.
