The ever-curious Sammy stows away on the Shapiro's trip to Israel. There he uses his five senses to experience the country. With Sammy, children tour Israel: the Ben Gurion airport, Tel Aviv, a kibbutz, the Western Wall and Jerusalem, the Negev, Eilat, the Dead Sea, and the Galilee. As seen through Sammy's big, round spider's eyes, Israel is a diverse, colorful, and meaningful place for Jews. Kahn's collage and torn paper illustrations are colorful and have just the right amount of detail for preschoolers.
