Also, The Hungry Clothes compiled by Schram has some good stories.
An old classic but still valuable is Pessin's The Aleph-Bet Story Book.An
excellent reference book for stories- especially thematic- is the Jewish Story

I am looking for Jewish Short Stories for grades 1 - 3. My Director of
Education at my Reform Religious School in Southern California hired a new
teacher. She wants to read short stories to her students at the beginning and
end of her classes. I have about 800 Jewish Children's books in my 2,600
volume collection but no idea what books contain short stories. Does anyone
have a bibliography of short stories?
