Hidden Child, by Isaac Millman
(Farrar, Straus & Giroux; $18; ages 8-
12)
As- a young boy growing up in Paris
before World War II, Millman, whose
name then was Isaac Sztrymfman, lived
a happy life, accompanying his father
on Sunday mornings to the nearby cafe
where Yiddish-speaking patrons debat-
ed politics. But the German occupation
of France in 1940, When Isaac was 7
years old, changed life forever. In
straightforward prose and captivating
graphic artwork and photographs,
Millman recounts the story of his sur-
vival, as he became one of
the "hidden" children of
the war. ivlillman strikes a
perfect balance in
recounting -the tragic
hardships he endured
while revealing the acts of
human kindness of peo-
ple who took risks to pro-
tect him.

Kibitzers and Fools:
Tales My Zayda Told Me,
by Simms Taback (Viking;
$16.99; ages 3 and up)
Bedtime reading does-
n't get more fun than with
these Yiddish tales recast
by Taback, Caldecott-win-
ning author and artist of
Joseph Had a Little
Overcoat. Be prepared to laugh along
with the kids ., who'll delight in the baf-
fling riddles ofJcibitzers and shlemiels.
Why bring along an umbrella full of
holes, asks Mendel. "I didn't think it was
going to rain," replies Itzik. The colorful
illustrations are as
offbeat and humor-
ous as the narra-
tive. Taback fills his
short stories with
easy-to-learn
Yiddish expressions
(and their defini-
tions) and adds a
glossary at the end.

Sholom's
Treasure, by Erica
Silverman, illustrat-
ed by Mordicai
Gerstein .(Farrar,
Straus and Giroux; $16; ages 4-10)
The two award-winners are perfectly
matched as Silverman engages young
readers with the childhood world of
Sholom Aleichem as he grows from

class clown to master storyteller.
Gerstein's illustrations are delightfully
playful as he gives readers a Sholom
with rosy cheeks, reddish-brown curls
under his cap and an impishly endear-
ing smile.

The Travels of Benjamin of Tudela,
by Uri Shulevitz (Farrar, Straus and
Giroux; $17; ages 5 and up)
Shulevitz has created a wondrous,
illustrated travelogue just right for chil-
dren by recreating the little-known voy-
ages of a Jewish traveler who visits
Rome, Constantinople, Baghdad, and
Jerusalem in the 12th century. Shulevitz
uses the first-person narrative to draw
readers in. He has won awards for sev-

eral books, including The Treasure and
The Fool of the World and the Flying
Ship.

Four Sides, Eight Nights, by Rebecca
Tova Ben-Zvi, illustrated by Susanna
Natti (Roaring Brook
Press; $16.95; ages 4-8)
An offbeat, fun book
that goes beyond the
traditional Chanukah
story to explore the his-
tory of the dreidel and
spinning tops from
around the world. There
are dreidel facts from
collectors and sevivon
(dreidel) science,
including a lesson on
friction from Sir Isaac
Newton. Natti is familiar
to young readers as the
artist of the popular Cam Jansen series,
and her light touch and expressive char-
acters enliven the book.
