Hi,
I'm looking to buy good story books for young kids. Prefferably stories of tzadikim etc. Prefferably with quality language ; ). I saw a thread on this before, but I can't find it now. Can we reopen it? Or direct me to the old one?
thanks!

My son loves a book by Genendel Krohn called Who Is The Builder - an adaptation of the midrash about Avraham "discovering" Hashem. The pictures are gorgeous and the dialogue nicely written. http://www.feldheim.com/cgi-bin/category.c...category=search

There's a whole series of books illustrated by Ruth Beifuss and written by "Ima shel (I think) Chani", which, if available in English, are very worthwhile.

At that age, my son likes the series "Let go to shul", "Let's go to school", etc
Also the "Label and Yossi" books.

I really enjoy reading "stories strait from Avi's heart" and "Stories strait from Mommie's hear". They love them too, and they have beautiful illustrations.

My kids love the little medrash says series. My MIL got them one that is not the parasha, its stories of tzaddikim arranged in sections. Its a big hit here :)

my kids are 4, 2.5 and 1. I am looking for something more advanced than Yossi and Label and Stories from Avi's heart. Those are great, we have them, but I was looking for something like bedtime stories of tzadikim. I suppose it is geared more toward 1-2 graders.

Stories Straight from Mommy's Heart are more sophisticated than "Avi's". Longer stories, more complex emotions. They are a little beyond my 3yo's comprehension, I think. But, my 6yo and 8yo understand them, and like to discuss the emotions and dilemmas in the stories.
