PS
An observant Jewish family visits a farm. There the children meet a farmer and marvel at God's creations. The story is written entirely in rhyming couplets, which range from mildly clever to forced. Some of the pages are just about the farm, while others have religious content. The illustrations, though stiff, are somewhat inviting. Glos.

PS
Simple rhyming couplets describe an Orthodox Jewish child's visit to the doctor for a sore throat. Alongside the down-to-earth replication of a common experience, the text reinforces that Hashem, or God, is the source of all life and health. Naive but pleasantly executed illustrations suit the tone.
