Joseph the Dreamer
In this eighth book of retellings of Bible stories for young readers, the partnership of Greengard and Racklin-Siegel continue a format that works: introduction for the adult reader, Hebrew text, simple but effective retelling of the story, a brightly-colored illustration opposite each section of the story, the literal translation, and a glossary. In a synagogue library, where teachers often ask for a story about a Biblical character, these books fit the bill. See other titles likeNoah's Ark,Jacob's Travels, andLech Lechain this useful series. --Anne Dublin, Holy Blossom Temple, Toronto; AJL Newsletter May/June 2008
