The story of the Chick that went to look for another Mother, Levin Kipnis. Frankfurt am Main-Moscow-Odessa: "Omanut", "Gamliel" library, 1923.
A children's story by Levin Kipnis accompanied by illustrations in color by Rabbi Zvi Bezalel (pseudonym of Ze'ev Raban).
[8] leaves, 23X31.5 cm. Good condition. Front cover and first page are detached, loose leaves, damages to spine, tears at margin of leaves, stains to front and back cover.
"The story tells the tale of a chick who is wandering amongst different domestic animals trying to find another mother and finally returns to his mother, the chicken. Each picture in the book is framed with a wide decorative frame in color in the corners of which appears the silhouette of one of the animals and the landscapes in which the story takes place which look very European. The frames, the layout and the style, changing from page to page, are all in Art Nouveau style namely trying to decorate the modern book with the abundance of ideas characteristic of the middle- ages illustrators".

"Lasvivon", Zalman Shneur. Frankfurt am Main (Moscow, Odessa): "Omanut", "Gamliel" Library, [1922].
A poem for children, accompanied by six illustrations in color in lithographic printing, by "Havurat Tsayarim". [16] pp, 22.5X29.5 cm. Good condition. Minor stains, minor damages to spine, leaves are partly detached. A particularly fine copy.
"This booklet is not easily defined…since it is illustrated in two different styles as if by two different artists. The three first illustrations are airy. The brightness and gentleness with which the orange and green colors are treated as well as the gentle animals and the goat wearing glasses are, maybe, typical of Moshe Motzlmacher. Compared with the other illustrations were the color palette consists of red-purple and blue, the composition is heavy with lines in black and resembling Apter's style. It is, therefore, possible that the booklet was illustrated by both artists". (From: Ayala Gordon, Hebrew Illustrations, Nahum Gutman Museum, Tel-Aviv, [2005], p.108).

The Miller, the Milleress and the Millstones, written by Benzion Raskin, illustrated by Eliezer Lissitzky. Poland [Warsaw]: "Tarbut", 1923.
Story for children, with illustrations by the artist Eliezer Lissitzky. 15, [1] pp, 21 cm. Good condition. Restored tears to front and back cover. The booklet, as a whole, is rebound.
"In April 1919 Benzion Raskin and Eliezer Lissitzky signed a contract with 'Yidisher Folks verlag' in Kiev, probably due to financial problems. According to this contract they were obliged to sell the copyrights of eleven children's books…for some reason only three of them have been published in Yiddish as planned. However, three years later a series of books for infants in Hebrew has been published in Warsaw…The series called 'Zil Zlil', included five books…out of the five booklets, only one, 'The Miller, the Milleress and the Millstones, was translated into Hebrew, and the illustrations were copied from the illustrations created by Lissitzky for the Yiddish books…there is something too slim in those illustrations as if they were done hastily.
The reason might have been that there was a need to produce many books in a short period of time. It is possible, on the other hand, that Lissitzky limited himself to minimal lines on purpose, similar to the way children draw. At that period it was common amongst the modern artists to believe that a child's art reflects a primary concept of the world, and many artists were inspired by this art".

Four Goats. Composed by Benzion Raskin, illustrated by Uriel Kahana. Poland [Warsaw]: "Tarbut". 1922.
Story for children, illustrated by the artist and architect Uriel Kahana (1903-1965) who made aliya to Eretz Israel one year following the publication of this booklet. In the 1930s Kahana was invited to work with Erich Mendelsohn in his office in Jerusalem. Afterwards he opened an office in Tel-Aviv. [1], 20, [1] pp, 20.5X25.5 cm. Good condition. Minor Stains. Tears at borders of cover.
"Uriel Kahana, a brilliant illustrator, close in style to Lissitzky and Tchaikov…describes a scary wolf, standing in a threatening pose, exposing sharp teeth and with shining eyes. The strong body is transferred by using dark stains while the goats are portrayed in a gentle and fragile line. The story is repetitious, as typical of folk tales and adequate for kindergarten children, thus, every time that the wolf is threatening again, it is the same intimidating wolf, the same illustration. In the end, when the wolf dies, the script "falls" in a diagonal line with the wolf… The book is outstanding from an artistic point of view and incorporates in a sophisticated way elements of folk art with cubist characteristics and humor with an expressive outlook".

"Haim Hanft…was a weird artist. Like Lissitzky, he was trying to achieve an abstraction of animals' shapes through a non-continuous line and through minimal use of colors. The animals have human eyes, sometimes smiling and sometimes cross-eyed, however the kitten, in spite of her human face and in spite of being cross-eyes is so strange and poor, that a child cannot identify with her".

[14] pp, 20X28cm. Good condition. Stains. Minor damages to margin of cover. Handwritten dedication.
"'Eliyahu HaNavi' is one of the most beautiful books ever published in Hebrew, expressing in a wonderful poem the Zionist dream: a boy in the Diaspora asks to go to Haifa by boat, where" Eliyahu HaNavi" will take him in a carriage of fire to the Carmel Cave where he will study the Torah in the company of angels. The peak of this dream is that the child will study the Torah in Eretz Israel… Gur-Aryeh, a student and teacher in 'Bezalel', drew a Yemenite boy. Many of the Yemenites who came to Eretz Israel in the early days of the 20th cent. worked as jewelers in 'Bezalel', and were considered the most authentic Jews representing the ideal of an oriental Jew as well as the ancient, biblical Jew while seen also as an utopian Jew…In the book 'Eiyahu HaNavi' the boy who just arrived on boat and sees the city of Haifa…sees the vision of Eliyahu in a carriage drawn by horses of fire. The carriage with its red horses resembles not only the fire but also the Russian tradition of the Troika [the carriage drawn by a team of three horses harnessed abreast]. Eliyahu whose face is pleasant and generous, with a white beard, dressed as an Arab…it is obvious that Heilperin was hoping to compose a folk-story for children which reflects the Jewish tradition – on the background of a legendary-biblical and at the same time modern Eretz Israel. The combination of oriental-Arab-Yemenite-Russian-European created most probably the new mix of the 'Hebrew'".
