(4) K-3 Illustrated by Yael Kimhi Orrelle. Arielle is the great-great-granddaughter of Engineer Ari in Cohen's previous books (Engineer Ari and the Rosh Hashanah Ride, et al.). She drives her more modern light-rail train through Israel on Yom Ha'Atzma'ut (Israel's Independence Day) to watch her brother fly in the annual air show. The long explanatory text's main purpose is to highlight particular sites throughout Israel. The illustrations are light and spacious but sometimes awkward.
