There is a review of Christine Laird's A LITTLE PIECE OF GROUND in the
Sept/Oct. issue of the AJL Newsletter. It agrees with Hanna Geshelin's
opinion, expressed in an earlier HaSafran posting.
There is a review of THE ENEMY HAS A FACE by Gloria Miklowitz in the Fall
issue of Jewish Book World.
Hi. I am planning a preschool storytime on derech eretz, in the sense of
courtesy, friendliness, good citizenship, and generally acting like a
mensch.
If anyone has a fingerplay, song, or other cute activity on this theme, I
would love to hear about it.
Thanks very much!

The conversation on this line has been quite interesting in recent days.
There seems to be anxiety over materials that relate to the conflict between
the Israelis and the Palestinians. I think that people are confusing their
professional outlook with their personal outlook. I echo Dr Sheynin that

I haven't seen Relentless so I can't make any comments about it. I do
think that a library should present a balanced view. Is Israel correct in

life
