A subject guide to hundreds of Jewish stories, this book's purpose is to help teachers, rabbis, librarians, folklorists, parents, and storytellers find the right story to match their need. The
stories are numbered for easy reference and grouped in broad categories--for example, God, faith, and prayer; rabbinic wit and wisdom; tricksters and fools; festivals and holidays. For each
story, a list of tellings (author and book title) provides options for the story seeker, and a list of keywords connects the story subject categories. Cross-referenced indexes of subject
keywords and titles make locating stories easy. An appendix lists stories for children of different ages, from lower elementary through middle school. The bibliography of almost 200 story
collections and picture-book tales gives sources for every story.
