Thank you to all of the librarians who responded to my question asking if the following two books are appropriate for grades 4-8
Everything Illuminated : A Novel by Jonathan Safran This was a very clear NO. Legacies of the Holocaust and WWII by Mona Weissmark. One person thought that both were adult books and others didn't know. I wrote to the author who is checking with her publisher and she will get back to me. I will keep you informed. Many of you wrote to me with suggestions for appropriate books for grades 4-8. Many of these books are already in my library, but I thought I would share them with you. A Picture of Grandmother by Esther Hautzig No Pretty Pictures by Anita L. Hanna's Suitcase by Karen Levine Katrina by Winter Dear Emma by Johanna Hurwitz Maria's Stories by Schmidt Marika by Sheng Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli Four Perfect Pebbles by Lila Perl Dorothy Krimsky <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran at lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc at lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 at osu.edu AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
