Israel ABCs dramatically reveals Israel's great past and celebrates the diversity of people who live there today. Z may be for Zionism, but B is Bedouin; G is for the Gold Dome in Jerusalem that is sacred to Muslims; V is for Via Dolorosa, the 'Street of Sorrow,' visited by Christian pilgrims from around the world; and P is for Palestinians. Young readers learn that the water of the Dead Sea is nine times more salty than the world's oceans, and the Ibex is Israel's rare goat. Pronunciation guides for Israeli, Hebrew, and Arabic, plus websites and an index, are provided. Other volumes in this terrific series focus upon New Zealand, Australia, Egypt, Mexico, Germany, Japan, Kenya, China, and the United States.
