A new year is the perfect opportunity for new books. At our house, we have a tradition of getting each child the book of their choice. (For littles who are too young to read, I pick something to read aloud.)

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency has created a round-up of 6 new titles that look fantastic:

• Once Upon an Apple Cake: A Rosh Hashanah Story
• Whale of a Tale
• Shanah Tovah, Grover
• Creation Colors
• Jackie and Jesse and Joni and Jae
• The Elephant in the Sukkah

Sesame Shalom is a series that I’ve blogged about before that we absolutely adore. The Apple Cake one looks really good, too. FYI: All of the above are intended for kids under 10.

If you have any book recommendations, please share.
