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.
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 but needs a little help to truly get LOUD! This adorable board book introduces the concepts of loud and quiet and is just the right size for little hands.
Other board books in the My Jewish Objects series include My Matzah, My Mezuzah, and My Dreidel.
"In this charming board book, a young elephant struggles to make a sound with her shofar until her mother helps clear it. The opposite concepts of “quiet” and “loud” are introduced through the playful storytelling: “I want it to be loud! Toot. Toot. I will try again. That was not loud. That was quiet.” A brief note at the end explains the shofar’s role on Rosh Hashanah. It does not mention other key shofar calls, including “shevarim” and “t’ruah,” nor does it discuss the shofar’s use on Yom Kippur. VERDICT Joyful illustrations and vibrant backgrounds make this a delightful addition to holiday collections."
–School Library Journal
"Loud or quiet? Koffsky's latest board book celebrates the shofar. Be prepared for lots of toot, toot, tooting as your child blows a pretend or real shofar. Simple text and happy illustrations make this a winner for our youngest children."
—Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle
