| 6. |  | Because Nothing Looks Like God from Jewish Lights Publishing Price: $12.23 Customer Review: Introduced to this book a few years ago by a friend's rabbi during a children's sabbath celebration, my husband and I were quite impressed.

| 7. |  | Incantation from Little, Brown Young Readers Price: $8.99 Customer Review: When I first picked up the audio book from the library, I was nervous that it was only three CDs. When I found out it was for young adults, I grew more nervous. Then I started listening and fell in love with it. It's an amazing story. The writing is simple yet powerful. The narration is amazing.

| 8. |  | The Cure from HarperTrophy Price: $6.99 Customer Review: This was a good book--there are others on similiar topics that are better. What I did like it about it was that it wasn't about the holocaust but yet still managed to be about repression of Jewish people. |

| 10. |  | The Treasure (Sunburst Book) from Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR) Price: $6.95 Customer Review: My two children, probably a little young for this one, enjoy it from the intriguing title, the dream, then the journey to find...how and where, and what will Isaac find?

| 11. |  | You Are SO Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah! from Hyperion Book CH Price: $8.99 Customer Review:  I would have given this less then one star if that were possible. I hate it when I expect something from a book and don't get it. I was hoping for a funny, lively book about a girl who had a crush preparing for her Bat Mitzvah. What I got was way worse. I stumbled my way through about four or... |

| 12. |  | Stories for Children from Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR) Price: $10.20 Customer Review: As Singer noted in his 1984 Foreword, "in the beginning was the Logos, the power of the word." He had never believed he could write for children, but editor Elizabeth Shub convinced him otherwise in the early 1960s. Twelve volumes of children's books followed, from which these 36 tales are gleaned.... |

| 17. |  | Solomon And the Ant: And Other Jewish Folktales from Boyds Mills Press Price: $13.57 Customer Review: From simple stories, to valuable lessons, to an idea of what life was like in Rambam's time or how a holiday was celebrated in Russia, these folktales are brilliant in their simplicity.

| 18. |  | The Way Meat Loves Salt: A Cinderella Tale from the Jewish Tradition from Henry Holt and Co. (BYR) Price: $12.21 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... |

| 20. |  | Tell Me a Mitzi from Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR) Customer Review: My grandmother read this to me when I was little, and now my 2 and 4 year old love it too. They like the long breathless sentences, repeating all the little details. The pictures are a bit...odd...(little kids with the faces of old people)...but that's the only negative I can think of, and the... |

| 24. |  | While Standing on One Foot: Puzzle Stories and Wisdom Tales from the Jewish Tradition from Henry Holt and Co. (BYR) Price: $9.95 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. |

| 25. |  | Where Is God? from Skylight Paths Publishing Price: $7.99 Customer Review: Kushner's Where Is God is a wonderful introduction to the concept that God's presence infuses nature and all human exchanges and experiences. I actually prefer this board book to the full-size, older-children's book it is drawn from (Because Nothing Looks Like God), because the board book forces one... |

It also showed me that everyone goes through a stage when they... |

It starts with the start of Rosh Hashanah and ends on right at the close of Yom Kippur. While many may feel that the Day of Atonement may not make for a good story, this book does a very nice job of it. It touches on the home and the... |

| 30. |  | Zlateh the Goat and Other Stories from Michael Di Capua Price: $14.00 Customer Review: Singer and Sendak are an unbeatable combination. Sendak is amazing in what he can do with pen and ink (no color). I think those who are familiar with Yiddish culture would appreciate these stories more than those who are not. |
