RE: [ha-Safran]: Special Needs Books
The book The Printer is a very nice story about a child whose deaf father is a printer that saves everyone from a fire. It has beautiful illustrations, and might be worthwhile.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Shabbat Holiday books - recommendations needed
Barbara, You might want to include flannel board sets for your Holiday/Shabbat Kits. Kids really seem to enjoy them. You can make your own or buy them from a place such as Benny's Educational Toys.

[ha-Safran]: Rosen Publishing
I was appalled to see that Rosen Publishing has a series entitled Middle East Leaders. The leaders in this series are Anwar Sadat, Ayatollah Khomeini, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, and Yasser Arafat. In the past I have noticed that their Holocaust Biography series is dedicated to far more Nazis than victims. What is the appropriate response in this case?

[ha-Safran]: Book in question
Dear Safranim, I have received one of those questions which librarians dread. It begins something like this: Do you know about this red book? I don't know the title, but I remember it was redThe novel in question has some Jewish content (possibly Biblical) and tells a story of a girl and a prince. The patron believes it was published quite awhile ago, and it is a torrid romance. It is very long, about six hundred pages. Does this sound familiar to anyone? It is not The Red Tent. I would appreciate any information, since offhand I don't recognize this. By the way, the book really is reddish-orange. Thanks.
