Lots of Moms by Shelley Rot-

Readers, a division of Penguin

It's often a dog-eat-dog world
out there when it comes to
children's books. There are
monsters and mean witches
and evil spirits; you've got to
wonder, what are those au-
thors thinking? Isn't real life
scary enough without creating
creepy creatures to frighten the
heck out of young children?
That's why this book, Lots of
Moms, is so terrific. It's a beau-
tiful collection of photos ac-
companied by a simple text
that will leave a child thinking,
"Moms are great and they love
their children and my mother
will take care of me." What
could be better?
There are mothers of every
type here — Asian and Indian,
African-American and white
— but the photos don't have
the ghastly feel of being includ-
ed just for the sake of being po-
litically correct. Every woman
here looks like the kind of per-
son a child would want to
have as a mom: Loving, gentle,
supportive.
"It's good there are lots of
moms," the book reads
at the end.
It's good there are
books like this out there,
too.

Dress by Itzhak

-14 -*
It isn't often that you
come across a book that's
so delightful you want to tell
everyone from your rabbi to
your mailman to your mother
to run out and buy it. Hanna's
Sabbath Dress is that rare
book, and more. It's beautifully
written, lovingly illustrated
and, best of all, offers a power-
ful message about kindness
that's not condescending,
preachy or sentimental.
As the story begins, a little
girl named Hanna waits eager-
ly as her mother makes her a
beautiful white dress for Shab-
bat. When the dress is done,
Hanna is careful to see that it
stays clean. She cautions her
.pet dog to stay away.
Then Hanna sees a man

with a heavy burden of char-
coal on his back, and she offers
to help hi Ti carry it. Her dress
becomes covered with soot.
It is the moon who brings
comfort to Hanna, sending
down beams that cover her
dress. The dirt transforms into
light, and Hanna's dress begins
to glow "like the purest silver."
Soon, the whole Sabbath will
radiate with beauty.
Books just don't get any bet-
ter than this.
