WE'VE BEEN IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR

50 YEARS. STILL FAMILY OWNED AND

MICHIGAN BASED.

O000h, what beastly fun. This
is a thoroughly delightful book
filled with animal poems
about frogs and moles and
cockroaches (one of whom is
garbed in a fine black suit, the
other in a mink coat and
pearls. At night, they come
out to search for "a drip of
grease, a drop of fat, a bit of
this, a bit of that" before re-
turning home to sleep all day).
This is fun reading for chil-
dren and adults, managing
wonderfully to be neither ter-
rifying (no lions pop out from
bushes to gobble up little chil-
dren) nor sentimental (there's
certainly a place for cute little
kittens, but it's awfully nice
when they're nowhere in
sight, too).
Tracy Gallup is a Michigan
native whose dolls and other
art works can be found
throughout metro Detroit. Her
illustrations in Beastly Ban-
quet are nothing less than fab-
ulous. There are flying
butterflies in dresses, ele-
phants in bow ties and blue
suits, and raccoons relishing

corn on the cob at a picnic.
This is Ms. Gallup's first book;
let's hope there are many
more.

Sefer Ha-Aggadah: The
Book of Legends for Young
Readers by Seymour Rossel
with illustrations by Judy
Dick. Published by the Union
of American Hebrew Congre-
gations Press.

This work, adapted from the
classic text, features a collec-
tion of tales about biblical fig-
ures including Adam and Eve,
Sarah and Abraham, Moses
and Joseph. Though the sto-
ries are familiar, their retelling
here, and the accompanying
illustrations, are lovely.
One of the most memo-
rable focuses on Moses,
and how he cares for a
lamb who has run from a
flock he is tending. Moses
sees that the lamb has
gone to get a drink, and
he apologizes for not
knowing the creature was
thirsty. When the lamb

has finished, Moses carries -
him back to the fold. Witness-
ing the gesture, God says,
"This is the person I want to
lead the Children of Israel out
of Egypt. He takes such care of
even the littlest lamb of anoth-
er man's flock that I know he
will take care of even the
smallest baby among my flock,
the Israelites."
A final note: This book fea-
tures an interesting collabora-
tive effort: Seymour Rossel is
publisher of the UAHC Press,
representing the Reform
movement, while illustrator
Judy Dick is a graduate of the
Orthodox movement's Yeshi-
va University.
