Mendel's Ladder By Mark Karlins	On the 61st rainless day of the summer, 7-year-old Mendel Moskowitz takes action to save his plants and vegetables. He builds a ladder to the clouds as his family and neighbors watch with amusement and disbelief. When he and his parents climb the ladder, they meet the disgusted Rainmaker, Maxwell Butterbarrel, who refuses to do his job until he is appreciated. Mendel saves the day (and the plants) by giving him a bag of candies. Then they all fly through the sky with ``sparkler wheels'' as the rain comes pouring down. The author has captured the speech and ambiance of Brooklyn's Jewish community, although the story is not specific to one ethnic group and has a wide appeal. The monoprint paintings are large, clearly defined, and add to the fanciful nature of the story. The double-page spread of lightning flashing over New York City is especially attractive. A wonderful read-aloud choice. Description from School Library Journal

Pot Luck By Tobi Tobias	A lovely celebration of food, friends, and love, this is a delightful story of the night Gram's old friend, Sophie, comes for dinner. Although Rachel hears her tell Sophie over the phone that she'll have to take "pot luck," the preparations for her last-minute visit are energetic and extensive. First there's shopping to do, then cooking, setting the table, and finally getting dressed. As they get ready, Gram tells Rachel a little bit about her life in the old country, when she and Sophie were young. Gram is a hearty, old-fashioned Jewish grandmother--no wilted vegetables, store-bought cakes, or white rice for her! Readers will almost smell the wonderful feast she creates, and they'll sense the special, easy-going affection between Gram and Rachel. The illustrations are warm and cozy, too. A satisfying, flavorful story that will evoke many sweet memories. Description from School Library Journal

Reward for Loyalty By Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
The Story of Mimmy and Simmy By Yaffa Ganz	The Story of Mimmy and Simmy could easily be subtitled The Grass Is Always Greener . . . . Mimmy is a wealthy child with many material possessions. Simmy lives in a "rumpledown'' house with many brothers and sisters, much work to do and few dresses or dolls. They are both unhappy and jealous of each other. In classic "Prince and the Pauper'' fashion, they trade places for one day. Predictably Simmy soon tires of trying on new clothes and playing alone. Mimmy discovers that having lots of siblings can mean not having privacy, free time or new toys. The girls learn to be satisfied with what they have. Adequate pink and yellow illustrations appear on all but one page. The presence of unexplained Hebrew words such as abba, imma and Sukkos make this book most appropriate for Hebrew school libraries. From School Library Journal

Shemot Muzarim By Shari Dash Greenspan (Hebrew Text)	“Shemot Muzarim” (Strange Names) begins as a little girl dons her coat in true 5-year-old style by flipping it over her head, waves goodbye to her parents and skips off to kindergarten. On the way she tells us that nearly all of the children in her gan (kindergarten) were misnamed by their parents. The names are strange, in her opinion, because they just don’t fit – none of the names match the children’s personalities! For instance, Shira (song) doesn’t like to sing and Avi (my father) isn’t anyone’s father. Sweet, evocative illustrations by veteran artist Avi Katz explore a full day’s activities in this Israeli Gan from arrival through playtime, snack-time, drama and story-time, and witty word play in bouncy rhythm and rhyme by first time author Shari Dash Greenspan reveal the humor in these “strange names.” As the kindegarteners are introduced, kids will love finding them in the accompanying illustrations, especially the one child with the perfect name, whose parents knew exactly how she’d turn out.
