Evolving from the oral tradition that gave us Torah and Talmud,
folktales illuminate and reinforce the lessons of our heritage. We
tell them to entertain our children, and also to pass on our
values.
It's Too Crowded in Here is a collection of Jewish folktales and
midrashic stories in this spirit, enlivened by colorful
illustrations. Fun just to read aloud with children, the stories
also provide a rich yet light-hearted resource for exploring key
values such as self respect, compassion, appreciation, tolerance,
and thankfulness.
Resource pages after each story provide some brief background
linking the story with its underlying message and connecting it to
sources in Jewish tradition. Appropriate for any background or
level of Jewish knowledge, these supplemental notes, together with
a few open-ended questions and activity suggestions based on each
story, can help those who would like to lead children through a
deeper exploration of each story.
