A Book Review from Floyd Cooper:
Jewish Culture: History, Humor, and Humanity
Jewish literature that spans the globe and imparts wisdom
By Etta Miller
Most of the Jewish children's literature that many read tend to be didactic: It set out to teach lessons, not to entertain. Today Jewish children's literature informs, inspires, amuses, and tackles larger themes, including coming of age and coming to terms with the past. The characters are full characters, growing up in a variety of cultures -- and mixed cultures. The following ten titles possess a richness of character and storyline that make them especially memorable.
