| 1. |  | While Standing on One Foot: Puzzle Stories and Wisdom Tales from the Jewish Tradition from Henry Holt and Co. (BYR) Customer Review:  the stories are short. 2/3rd thru there is a pause in the story and a question. How do we think this strategy will work out? or...what would you answer the Prince? After a short discussion with the child, you can then complete the reading of the story - and recieve the answer. Worthwhile kid's book. |

| 2. |  | The Way Meat Loves Salt: A Cinderella Tale from the Jewish Tradition from Henry Holt and Co. (BYR) Price: $13.46 Customer Review:  WHY IS IT THAT in most of the "ethnic" Cinderella stories, that THESE "Cinderellas" wind up with a rabbi's son, a village chieftan's son, the rich druggist's son.....but never, (or hardly ever), a REAL Prince? Why is the REAL prince reserved only for WASPs? (OK -- 99% of the... |

| 3. |  | The Cow of No Color: Riddle Stories and Justice Tales from Around the World from Henry Holt and Co. (BYR) Price: $12.89 Customer Review:  I read the first half of a story every morning to my middle schoolers. I let them offer any "solutions" they think of, and they can ponder the story for the rest of the day. Then I read the ending of the story, where the problem is resolved, before they go home. This book gets across important life... |

| 5. |  | Wonder Woman: The Rain Forest (Festival Reader) from HarperFestival Customer Review: Honestly? This is made for the kiddies, but it is far, far superior than anything DC has published since their godawful OYL began. This is Wonder Woman who is strong, confident, and true to her convictions. Best of all, there isn't a Nemesis in sight. |

| 13. |  | Sing, Little Sack! from Bantam Books for Young Readers Customer Review:  At least not from the Puerto Rico I grew up in. I am always in the look out for stories that will allow my daughter to remain connected to the culture of my childhood. I was apalled when I read this book, in preparation to introducing it to my 3-year old's bedtime routine. The book preys on parents... |

| 14. |  | A Voice for the People: The Life and Work of Harold Courlander from Henry Holt & Company Customer Review: I haven't finished the book, but I knew him personally from a very young child through college age. A terrific man, a storyteller whom could keep you captivated for hours with the folklore of the Haitians or whatever he was speaking about. His trademark smoking pipe was all part of both his normal... |

| 16. |  | Patakin: World Tales of Drums and Drummers from Cricket Books/Marcato Price: $15.95 Customer Review: I was dissapointed in this book. As a world music specialist and storyteller, I was expecting a more in depth and more user friendly resource. The stories were not well told and they seemed very dry. The music was of no help since nothing related to the story. In other words, while there was some... |
