for The Diamond Tree by Howard Schwartz, Uri Shulevitz, and Barbara Rush
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Fifteen tales unique to Jewish culture concern fundamental teachings of Judaism, such as honesty, faith, charity or cooperation. The well-documented tales are drawn from ancient and modern Jewish sources around the world. The ten full-color paintings by Uri Shulevitz are perfect complements to the tales they accompany. A fine collection for family and group reading as well as for individual gifts. (Ages 5-11)
