Sadie and the Big Mountain by Jamie Korngold -OPTIONAL


Korngold, Jamie and illustrated by Fortenberry, Julie Sadie and the Big Mountain 32 pgs. Kar-Ben Pub, 2012. $7.95.  (Rating: G).

Sadie is worried about the hike that her class is going be taking. It is supposed to be like the hike that Moses too up to Mt. Sinai. Her imagined excuses don’t come true when the day of the hike arrives and she learns a lesson.
This is a book for young children who already know something about the Jewish religion, as any other child would be totally confused since the references/backstory/terminology are not explained. (Which also means it’s a wash for school libraries). The artwork is also quite dated looking.
