Moral qualities + good deeds + instruction = decent person. These are the ideas and the ideals that express the meaning of the term "Jewish values." They are also the precepts embraced by most of the other world religions. This highly authoritative reference guide by Linda Silver-a specialist in Jewish children's literature-evaluates and analyzes nearly 1,000 carefully selected children's books that promote Jewish values.

Each entry includes bibliographic information, age level reco mmendations, annotation, relevant value, and subject headings. School and public librarians, teachers, and parents concerned with character development will find this guide an essential resource.

 Highly recommended for a library servicing a large Jewish children and/or young adult population, this book is recommended also for other libraries servicing children and young adults.

This is an outstanding work, beneficial to libraries and also useful as a resource for families. You'll wonder how you got along without it.
