I always wanted to compile a bibliography with a title like the one in the subject heading. I started such a list years ago, but while I've been procrastinating, someone at the Canadian Children's Book Centre has gone ahead and finished one --- and posted it online as an Acrobat (PDF) file. The URL is http://www.bookcentre.ca/files/JewishBookList.pdf but I'll paste the contents below for those who can't access it. ******* Canadian Jewish-themed Books for Kids The Canadian Children’s Book Centre has compiled a list of great Canadian Jewish-themed books for kids of all ages.
