One, or occasionally two, chapters are
linked to Jewish book titles, with an extra page from the chapter
following often included as well. (All this, in accordance with each
publisher's approval) While book beginnings are always used for
novels, the story sample is not always the first in the story
collection.
Sample chapters and stories presented, mostly, in
text format to shorten time waiting for stories and samples to come
up.
The Jewish book categories overlap a great deal. For example, the
book, Far From a Place Called Home, is middle grade in readability, yet
its serious content made us place it among Jewish books for young
people in older grades. It is also for this reason, that some books were
placed in two categories.
We hope to add books
regularly.

Kid Sisters - Growing Up by Esther
Sutton
(Targum Press)
The Kid Sister series is really for
children in younger grades. Second through fourth grade children find them
easy to read and enjoyable.
The
Cresta Adventure by Ruth
Abramson (Feldheim Pub.) This
is a mystery/suspense young children's book. Third and fourth graders who
don't like to read will enjoy it and improve their reading from it. Even
older children (even early teenagers) with reading disabilities, will find
the reading easy, yet suspenseful enough to keep them interested. (Just
let them know, that after the slow beginning, it becomes very
suspenseful.) It can help them 'break through' in learning to read and
enjoying to read.

a beloved colection of stories in five volumes.
Five volume Jewish story
collection for children in middle grades by Nissen Mindel
(Merkos/Kehos pub.)
The
Storyteller Vol.1(sample not available presently)
The Storyteller series is interesting for all
ages, adults as well as children. The author writes in a style that
is easy to read, yet it is not strictly a 'children's' style but an
ageless style that all can enjoy.
The stories were gathered mainly from
old Yiddish and Hebrew books, collections of stories from the previous
centuries. Most of these stories have a true core.
There are a
number of stories of WWII and stories from behind the iron curtain. Each
of these were told to the author by those who lived through them. These
stories are all true.
The Storyteller (vol.2) featured sample
story relates the origin of the sacred Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur prayer
of Unesaneh Tokef.
