By Ellen Emerman

Book Overview

It is a big adventure for Rivkie and her family to move into an empty new house. Soon the moving truck arrives. The furniture, carpets, plants, toys and clothes all get put away in their respective places, and the family starts to feel at home.That is - until Rivkie discovers that something is missing. She leads everyone into each room determined to make everything "just right." By working together, the whole family helps to put in place all the important, familiar objects that turn an ordinary house into a special Jewish home. Small children will enjoy seeing Shabbos candlesticks in the dining room, Jewish books in the den, tzedakah boxes in the kitchen, and Chanukah menorahs in the living room. When everything seems just right, Rivkie insists that something is still missing. Finally, they all help put up the mezuzahs to finish transforming their new house into a real Jewish home.

Customer Reviews

Just Right...

I enjoyed reading this book to my children. It challenges them to give their ideas and think about what should be in a Jewish home.

A Learning experience.

'Just Right' is a very good way for children to learn about the different things that make up a Jewish home, and enjoy the book at the same time. Children love the pictures in the book that show well drawn expressions. Children of all ages love this book.

Cute book

Just Right is a very cute book for younger children. I read it to several children who I babysit for and they all liked it a lot.
