Miriam's Tambourine: Jewish Folktales from around the World By Howard Schwartz	Drawing upon their rich religious and cultural heritage--a heritage that stretches back to Biblical times and passes through many varied epochs and environments--Jewish sages, artists, writers, and storytellers have continually created imaginative and evocative formulations of Jewish philosophy, literature, art, law, liturgy, ritual, and especially new forms of folklore. Miriam's Tambourine presents fifty classic Jewish folktales that come from virtually every corner of the globe and every historical period. Readers of all ages will delight in the Jewish versions of the Snow White, Rapunsel, and Sinbad stories, which in some cases were the original sources of these popular folktales. Howard Schwartz has also selected and retold those tales which have retained their uniquely Jewish character and have become part of the heritage of the Jewish people, including the Golem, the tales of Rabbi Nachman of Bratzlav and of the Ba'al Shem Tov, tales of Elijah the Prophet, Miriam and her mystical well, Rabbi Adam, and even of the Sambotyon, the legendary river that raged six days of the week and rested on the Sabbath. Recast in a form accessible to readers both young and old, yet true to their provenances, these tales continue to enthrall and capture the imagination as they illustrate the power of man to overcome evil; the longing of the Jewish people to return to their homeland; and the universal prayer for a world at peace. Providing careful annotation of sources and a brilliant analysis of meanings and symbolisms, Miriam's Tambourine represents a landmark in Jewish folk literature and in American-Jewish culture.

A Big Quiet House: A Yiddish Folktale from Eastern Europe By Heather Forest	"Feathers were flying, the children were crying, the wife was sighing, and the man couldn't sleep." In a rhythmic storytelling voice, Forest gives us a wonderful version of the old Yiddish folktale It Could Always Be Worse. Greenstein's bold, colorful pictures with thick black lines are great for group sharing; they capture the broad farce and the droll characters of the shtetl setting. A man can't sleep in his small crowded house, so he gets up in the middle of the night and asks the wisewoman of the village for help. She suggests he bring a chicken into the house, and then a cow, a horse, a goat, and a sheep. Of course, the nonsense advice creates more and more chaos, and the pictures show the animals filling the space, singing and snorting and noisily pecking. Then the wisewoman tells him to put the animals back in the barn, and suddenly his house is big and quiet. An endnote discusses sources and message, but children will love the nonsense. Description from Booklist A man finds his house to be way too small: he hears his wife snoring and his children giggling all the time. He goes to an old woman in the village for help. She instructs him to move various animals from the barn to the house. The more animals that are moved into the house, the more hilarious the chaos that ensues. Finally, the wise old woman instructs him to move all the animals back into the barn. Suddenly, the house that used to be too small and too loud is now big and quiet. Forest retells the Yiddish folktale "It Could Always Be Worse" with lyrical rhymes and enough repetition to make it a perfect selection for reading aloud. Greenstein's bright illustration will easily engage any child. A perfect selection for storytime. Lori's Description
Feathers By Heather Forest	Words, like feathers fly in the wind, in the wind. Careless words, tossed about, cannot again be swallowed up. Rumors and gossip can be permanent and damaging. The victim's reputation is harmed, and the trust in the community erodes. In this traditional folktale from Eastern Europe, a gossip is brought before a wise rabbi, who must concoct a suitable lesson. His clever solution demonstrates vividly the consequence and permanence of words spoken in haste. It is easy to spread gossip, but impossible to take it back. Heather Forest's rhythmic retelling reflects the pathos of the story and the wisdom of the rabbi. Marcia Cutchin's bright watercolor palette captures the activity of a traditional Jewish shtetl, where one person's business is everyone's business. Description from Publisher In this sweet retelling of a Yiddish folktale, a woman learns how gossip cannot be easily remedied. The woman tells rumors about others but feels that she can just take back her words and all will be forgiven. The Rabbi tells her to cut open a pillow and allow the feathers to fly through the air. Once they have flown away, she was told to bring back each feather. As hard as she tried, she could not complete his task because they had scattered throughout the land. Marcia Cutchin's bright watercolor illustrations will easily capture the attention of young children. Heather Forest's narrative with short, simple sentences makes this an ideal choice for reading aloud to toddler and preschoolers. Lori's Description
Adam & Eve's First Sunset: God's New Day By Sandy Eisenberg Sasso	What will Adam and Eve do when the sun begins to set for the first time? Is it their fault? Does it mean that God is angry? Award-winning author Sandy Eisenberg Sasso has created another profound story—a beautiful recasting of the biblical tale of Adam and Eve in the Garden—for today’s children, their parents, and their teachers. This is the story of Adam and Eve’s first test of trust and faith and how they learned to find hope and light—even in the dark. Description from Publisher Children view the world in simple terms. The ongoing war in Iraq, the recent remembrances of the September 11 attacks, child abductions -- each of these can cause kids to think that everything they hold dear could come to an end. Adam & Eve's First Sunset: God's New Day, by award-winning children's author and spiritual development expert Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, with full color acrylic paintings by Joani Keller Rothenberg, helps parents ease children's fears with a practical story based on teh familiar, ancient myth. A lesson in hope and faith - and learning that there are some things in life behond our control - Adam & Eve's First Sunset: God's New Day is for every child who has worried about what comes next. After spending their first day in the Garden of Eden, safe and unshadowed by worry, doubt, or fear, Adam and Eve realize that the sun is slipping away. They yell at the sun, then each other, and worry that God has abandoned them. Before falling asleep, they pray, "God, Creator of the Great Light, make morning again." When morning does come, Adam and Eve realize that they have not been forsaken and that night is just another of God's creations. They then live their lives blessing both the day and the night. Description from Publisher
Dybbuk: A Version By Barbara Rogasky	This retelling of an early-20th-century play based on a Jewish legend is uneasily balanced between an evocation of European shtetl life and a ghost story. Leah and Konin were promised to one another by their fathers even before they were born. However, when Leah is old enough to be married, Sender, her father, wants her betrothed to a rich man. Konin, now a poor orphaned scholar, meets Leah and they fall instantly, irrevocably in love. Thwarted by Sender's greed, the young man studies the Kabbalah, searching for a way to obtain the necessary wealth. When he fails, he dies and comes back as a dybbuk–an unhappy spirit that possesses Leah's body and speaks through her lips. Though an exorcism is performed, she chooses to rejoin Konin and dies before she can marry the man her father has selected. Stories of the supernatural have undeniable appeal, but this one, with its archaic setting and strongly religious connections, seems too specialized for most collections. Rogasky's writing, which is full of inverted phrases (e.g., Pious and sincere they were or Old it is, centuries old), is distancing--even though she addresses readers directly at times (Forgive me, Dear Reader. I cannot explain the meaning of all that happened….). Fisher's dramatic black, white, and brown-toned illustrations add to the hard-edged, unyielding nature of the tragic tale. Description from School Library Journal A Jewish legend about a girl's possession by a dybbuk, or restless spirit, is strikingly retold in a picture book that fits as smoothly into collections of children's Judaica as it does in sections of scary Halloween stories. Rogasky chooses to tell her version in a narrative longer than a traditional picture book, but she doesn't expend words idly; her storytelling is rich and powerful, as adept in conveying a sense of Hasidic culture as it is in narrating moments of sheer terror. These are terrifying indeed: Rogasky's dybbuk is a poor, orphan boy who dies when his destined fiancee is promised to another, and returns as a ghost to be united with his true love. Extending the horror are starkly composed, monumental oils in inky blacks and moonlit grays by venerable illustrator Fisher. Particularly noteworthy is Rogasky's distinct treatment of various voices, ranging from the narrator's intimate tone to the villagers' gossipy banter to the ghost's creepy pronouncements. With some artful adaptation, this will work well for readers' theater or storytelling performances. Description from Booklist
The Rooster Prince By Sydell Waxman	Based on a parable told by the great Jewish sage, Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav, this story tells of Avron, a poor village boy in 18th-century Russia, who is taken by the Tsar's messenger to the palace and instructed to cure the prince of acting like a rooster. When Avron notices that the prince/rooster is aping his own actions, the peasant boy quickly realizes how to coax him into behaving like a prince again. Description from School Library Journal
God Said Amen By Sandy Eisenberg Sasso	In this warm and inspiring tale, two rulers, the Prince of the Midnight Kingdom and the Princess of the Desert Kingdom, each have a big problem. The Midnight Kingdom is overflowing with water, but in desperate need of oil to light its lamps. The Desert Kingdom is blessed with oil, but in dire need of water to grow its gardens. Each faces disaster. After all, the Prince cannot be princely without his royal pajamas, and he can’t find them in the dark; the Princess cannot be princess-ly without her royal tea, and she can’t make tea without water! The royal rulers each ask God for help, but they prove too stubborn and full of pride to ask each other. It takes a minstrel, a pair of opinionated royal riding-birds and their young keepers, and a simple act of kindness for the kingdoms to learn that they need only reach out to each other to find God’s answers to their prayers. Description from Publisher
Elijah's Tears: Stories for the Jewish Holidays By Sydelle Pearl	In a lively, storytelling style, Elijah's Tears offers a dramatic human context to the many Jewish holidays that are celebrated throughout the year. Five stories illuminate the many faces and mysteries of Elijah, the Jewish prophet who is known for appearing in disguise and testing the character of those in need. In "Leaves," a destitute elderly couple is heartbroken when they must sell their sacred Shabbat candlesticks for food. That evening when the husband and wife encounter an even poorer Jewish man wearing torn, shabby clothes, they offer to mend his garments. They even keep him warm in their bed while they sew (since the man owns no other clothes). Of course the mysterious man turns out to be Elijah, and he rewards the couple as he walks away by turning his footprints into leaves of gold. The ethereal figures and Jewish symbols in Rossitza Skortcheva Penney's black-and-white illustrations seem to float upon the pages, bringing even more celestial imagery and magic to the elusive Elijah. Children love folktales that allow good deeds to be rewarded, especially when the rewards come from unexpected characters. Description from Amazon.com This breakthrough children's book by Sydelle Pearl will quickly find itself a place among Jewish holiday traditions. In five original tales, each relating to an important Jewish holiday, Elijah aids those who are in need while challenging those who have lost their faith. The young prophet finds himself summoned by God to wander the earth for a three month period in order to observe the Jewish people's handling of the Torah. Read along in 'Leaves', as he rewards a poor family that has sold their most prized possession for food; in 'The Tallis', witness the poignant circumstances concerning an old, dishevelled man and a young boy who writes a prayer on his behalf. Each tale, accompanied by rich illustrations, provides young readers with a beautifully crafted introduction to Elijah, God's great messenger for the Jewish people. Description from Publisher
The Demons' Mistake: A Story from Chelm By Francine Prose	For all those in today's workaday world who wonder just who to curse when their computers go haywire, the milk turns sour, and the traffic lights get fouled up, the answer is plain. The demons! These mischievous imps like nothing better than to spoil people's fun, and will go to great lengths to do so. Take the demons of Chelm, Poland, for example. Bored with messing up the foolish villagers' hair and making livestock fly, the demons decide to take their mischief on the road--to an amazing-sounding place called New York. There, they've heard, the streets are paved with gold, the buildings are made of silver, and there are parties every day--a perfect opportunity for havoc wreaking. So the small-town demons sneak into a crate en route to America. A series of mishaps keeps them stranded in a warehouse near the shipyards for fifty years. When they are finally freed they find themselves in a stranger world than they ever imagined. It's going to be a challenge to find ways to torment this all-new variety of humans who bustle around in cars, speak on cell phones, and watch TV--but they'll manage. The mischievous demons of Chelm, the legendary town in Poland where only fools live, wreak havoc on a daily basis. They make the milk go sour, herd livestock into the sky, and rip people's clothing and tangle their hair. Then they hear about an irresistible new place called New York City. A city jammed with unsuspecting people, motor cars, and tall, shiny buildings--a mayhem loving demon's dream! When they get there, though, the big city is more than a match for the small-town demons of Chelm. . . Description from Publisher
A Thread of Kindness : A Tzedakah Story By Leah Shollar	Avraham, a poor farmer from Constantinople, worries that his wife and sons do not have enough money for food and clothing. One day, while toiling in his fields, he meets an old man who offers him six years of wealth, to be dispersed immediately or at the end of his life. Avraham requests the money right away, and that very day his sons uncover a large chest of gold. His wife, Esther, considers the money a "thread of kindness" and convinces her husband to use their wealth to help others. In the end, the old man allows the family to keep the money because their acts of kindness and generosity helped so many. Shollar has adapted this tale from the Midrash, a collection of early Jewish commentaries offering interpretations of Biblical text. The story is simply told, although the liberal use of Hebrew terms (Hashem for God; abba and imma for father and mother) will make the glossary, which precedes the story, a necessity for some readers. Mekibel's soft, watercolor illustrations exude an Old World feel suited to the setting and tone of the text. A story that's heavy on message without ever becoming preachy, the book will be a welcome addition to religion collections. Description from Booklist A nice retelling of a familiar tale of kindness and community. Shollar bases her picture book on a Midrash from the Yalkut Shimoni. Avraham and Esther are poor but pious, struggling to put food on the table for their young sons. When a mysterious old man gives Avraham a choice between the blessing of six years of wealth now, or six years of wealth in old age, the man takes the question to his wife. Esther, as wise as her namesake, chooses to take the wealth immediately, and begins a thread of kindness and charity, which reaches throughout their community. They buy shoes for a barefoot child, purchase a chuppah for a bride's wedding day, and give money to help a mother afford her son's bar mitzvah. At the end of the six years, the old man returns to reclaim the treasure, but of course the riches remain with Avraham's family, and "the thread of kindness stretches on to this very day." Mekibel's watercolors lend a dreamy cast to the illustrations, as if they are memories of long ago. A solid addition to Jewish folklore collections Description from School Library Journal
Yettele's Feathers By Joan Rothenberg	Yettele Babbelonski loves to gossip. With a perfect view of the town and nothing to do all day, how can she help herself? When the neighbors complain about her tall tales, she shrugs them off. After all, she says, her stories are only words, and words are no more hurtful than feathers. It takes a wise rabbi with a clever ruse to change her mind. At the rabbi's request, Yettele cuts open a pillow and carries it across town. When the wind blows the feathers away, she discovers how hard it is to gather them back and repair the damage. Rothenberg's moral tale has a warm, comic quality. The gouache illustrations feature candylike tones of green, purple, and blue. Characters are drawn with broad, humorous strokes, and the town is a happy jumble of people, buildings, trees, and sky. The book comes to a fitting close as Yettele finds new pleasures in telling stories about her own life to the town children. Description from Booklist, May 1, 1995

Ten Traditional Jewish Children's Stories By Gloria Goldreich	Goldreich has created a wonderful bedtime book. The pictures are magnificent, showing all the joys of life in the Shtetl, while not totally glossing over the fact that shtetl life was often difficult, dirty, and poor. The story "Don't Make Me Do What My Father Did" is laugh-aloud funny-what could his father have done when no one would give him food? And "Half Price to Letchev" teaches us that a bargain is often worth even less than what you paid for it. The pictures are fabulous. A garden is so real that the vegetables and flowers just beg to be picked. Description from Children's Literature
Ten Best Jewish Children's Stories By Chana Sperber and Rabbi Daniel Sperber	A collection of traditional stories, with thought-provoking questions after each one. Selections include the familiar "How Could It Be Worse?," "For the Love of Two Brothers," "Nicanor's Golden Doors," and "Yosef's Love for the Sabbath." Less familiar are "God's Hidden Ways" (sometimes misfortune saves one from a tragedy), "More Valuable Than Gold" (the value of honoring one's father), "The Scorpion and the Wedding" (an act of kindness and charity saves a sage's bride from being bitten by a sorcerer's scorpion), and "The Shadow on the House of Study" (it is permissible to do ordinarily forbidden activities on the Sabbath to save a life). There is one treasure here-"The Chickens That Turned into Goats." Never mind what it teaches-it is perfect on its own. The stories are simply told and stripped to their oral-storytelling essentials. The artist draws great goats and wonderfully expressive human faces and hands in a dramatic, naturalistic style. Description from School Library Journal

The Wise Shoemaker of Studena By Syd Lieberman	Renowned storyteller Lieberman spins an uproarious yet meaningful tale in his first picture book. Although Yossi is a fine shoemaker, people also come to his shop in a tiny Hungarian village seeking his sage advice. So respected is Yossi's wisdom that Samuel, a wealthy merchant, invites the humble shoemaker to his daughter's wedding. But when Yossi arrives at the wedding in his worn and accidentally soiled clothes, Samuel mistakes him for a beggar and rudely shows him out. However, with the assistance of another wealthy man, Yossi returns to the wedding dressed in the very finest. This time Samuel welcomes Yossi but becomes horrified by the shoemaker's behavior: he smears sauerkraut on his sleeve and smashes apple strudel against his silk shirt, outrageous actions intended to teach Samuel a much-needed lesson about judging people by their appearance. Lemelman's luminously colored art has a TV-animation slickness that will appeal to children. A hilarious, well-told tale for reading aloud or sharing one-on-one. from Booklist
Gittel's Hands By Erica Silverman	Gittel's adoring father brags relentlessly about her many talents and even offers her services as a seamstress and a cook to pay off his debt to Reb Raya. But Reb Raya provides neither a needle for sewing nor wood for the stove. Given one last chance to help her father, Gittel is locked in Reb Raya's cellar and instructed to fashion a ceremonial goblet from a single silver coin. Helpless and alone, she sees a shivering beggar outside the window and offers him her shawl. Suddenly, the beggar appears in the cellar and, with tools, flame, and bars of silver, teaches Gittel to make beautiful plates, candlesticks, and the required Elijah's cup. Of course, the benevolent beggar is the prophet Elijah himself. Gittel goes free, her father's debt is paid, and the greedy merchant gets his due in a satisfying conclusion. Luminous and sometimes unusual colors--a purple dove, a green cat--and a topsy-turvy, collagelike interplay of textures and geometric shapes create the effect of a Chagall stained-glass window, ensuring that there is much to occupy the eyes as well as the hearts of story lovers. from Booklist
