Plays of Ancient Israel:
Legends from the Bible and Jewish Folklore
By L. E. McCullough
Though the title suggests that these dramatic interpretations of Bible stories and legends from the Midrash target children in grades K to three, the sophistication of the dialogue and plots make them more suitable for older students. The works range from a retelling of the story of Jonah to a less widely known adventure of Elijah the prophet. The text assumes its audience will be familiar with biblical narrative; for example, a character at the end of the tale of Ruth and Naomi comments that Ruth will give birth to a child renowned throughout Israel without making it clear that she is an ancestor of King David. The adults in charge of the productions will appreciate the clear stage directions and flexible casting requirements. For example, a story about angels on earth calls for a 21-member cast, but the play may be performed with 6 boys and 3 girls. Children will appreciate the modern humor injected into standard Sunday-school fare. When Jonah realizes that he has brought God's anger upon the ship he comments, "I was afraid this might happen, but that's the way the prophet bounces." A note outlines each story's origin. A diagram of the stage set; music scores; and descriptions of the set, cast, music, props, and costumes accompany each selection. A good choice for adults looking for a way to enliven religious-school curriculum

The Book of Tens
By Mark Podwal
Each letter of the Hebrew alphabet stands for a number. The letter yod, which represents the number 10, is the first letter of G-d's name. The esteem accorded the number 10 comes into play repeatedly in Jewish law and lore and is the inspired theme around which Podwal spotlights episodes in the history of the Jewish people. Dramatically simple gouache-and-ink paintings depict such scenes as the downfall of Sodom, along with the phrase "10 righteous men could have saved Sodom from destruction." Running vertically along the far side of the page is a brief, gracefully flowing elaboration of the biblical account of Abraham's bargaining with G-d to save the sinful city. Podwal also offers the story of Daniel's surviving in the den with 10 lions; tells of King David's harp having 10 strings; and relates how G-d created the world with 10 words. With its attractive format, this picture book for older readers welcomes readers to an innovative approach to the Bible and Jewish history.
