Newman, Vivian, ill. by Steve Mack, Tikkun Olam Ted. Kar-Ben Publishing, 2012. BOARD BOOK.
Ted likes to help the world. His family calls him Tikkun Olam Ted, because of his deeds. Every day, he does something to make the world better, except for Saturday. Saturday is Shabbat and he rests.
Although the book does a good job of introducing the days of the week and ways to help the world in small ways, it’s goal of basic introduction to Jewish life falls a little short. Shabbat is never really explained and nor is his nickname. Young children, however, may still enjoy the colorful pictures and simple story. PreK, Public Only. OPTIONAL Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI Public Library.
