[ha-Safran]: Suggestions for fiction books about Israel
Melinda, I love the book The Chicken Man because it is my mother's story only instead of chickens she cared about the kibbutz public area gardens from 1933 to 1950. No one knew better than Mom when to water the flowers and how much water each plant liked :)- Very few kibbutzim today are still living the socialists life. It is possible that by the time that the 2nd graders will be in 8th grade to idea of kibbutz life as described in the book will be a part of the past. It has a historical value as long as kids know the reason for the kibbutz philosophy in the past. It is no longer needed.

The Waiting Wall by Leah Braunstein Levy is the beautifully-illustrated story of two children's perceptions of the Kotel as they approach. The Secret Tunnel by Joy Nelkin Wieder is an easy chapter book taking place during the time of the first Beit Hamikdash..

Hello: I was wondering whether my fellow librarians could make some suggestions for fiction books about Israel/Israel subject matter for first and second grade students. Thank you very much.

I'd suggest Anna Levine's Sydney Taylor Notable Book, Jodie's Hanukkah Dig, an archaeology story about a little girl on a dig with her dad in Modi'in. It has a Hanukkah motif but can be read any time of year.

Arlene, I like Michelle Edwards's book Chicken Man. The text would be too difficult for first- and second- graders, but this age group enjoys a read-aloud of the book. Even young children can appreciate the values exemplified by the main character. The discussion can be tailored to that age group. I'd be interested to read of others' recommendations.
