Very Best Book Book

The Very Best Book selects familiar items that a child sees every day, like: boxes for cereal, coins for candy, water in raindrops, bottles of soda and then shows how these same objects can be used for mitzvos. The box is an esrog box, coins are for tzedakah, water in the washing cup, and a bottle of wine for kiddush. Ordinary everyday things used in a special Jewish way.
