Jewish tradition relates that before giving the Torah to the Jewish people, the Creator first offered it to the nations of the world, who chose, for one reason or another, to not accept the offer. Only thereafter did the nation of Israel accept this divine gift. It is this momentous event in the history of the Jewish people that is captured so memorably in this enchanting text for pre-schoolers and younger readers.

Told in easy-to-follow, charming rhyme and accompanied by vivid, full-color illustrations, The Very Best Gift offers children a delightful yet meaningful introduction to this sacred and significant occasion in the history of the Jewish nation.
