Ziz is a creature from the Jewish mythical tradition. I know I had never heard of a Ziz and probably neither have you, but after reading this book you will look at birds in a whole new way. And at night you will wonder if a ziz is around to block out the light of the day. This delightful story introduces you what ziz is and what ziz is up to in the world. Beginning readers will enjoy the combination of bold colors, simple sentences and most of all the whimsical rhymes mixed in with pretty standard rhyming. Just saying the phrase "Ziz is" brings so much joy that you will want to return to this book over and over again. ( )
