On Rosh Hashanah, the shofar's loud sound can surprise us and help us pay attention. It makes us think about how we can do better in the coming year.

Is it LOUD or is it QUIET? A young elephant wants to blow the shofar, the traditional horn played during the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hashanah, but it comes out too quiet. Elephant must try again and again. This board book by prolific children's author Ann D. Koffsky is the fourth in the series about Jewish objects and basic concepts, following My Mezuzah, My Dreidel, and My Matzah.

Ages 3 months to 2 years

In the book, My Mezuzah, a young rabbit tries to touch the mezuzah on the doorpost by jumping up and down, in this board book about trying and trying again.

In the book, My Dreidel, babies will love following along as a puppy tries to spin a dreidel in this Hanukkah board book.

In the book, My Matzah, a young koala searches for a hidden piece of matzah.

All four of these delightful board books are published by Behrman House.
