	Golem • David Wisniewski • Lee Salsberry • LITERATURE • MIDDLE READERS (Age 9-12) • A retelling of a Jewish legend, set in Prague in the 16th century, a dark time for the city's Jewish residents. A rabbi builds a clay giant to protect his people from persecution; the golem, in this version, speaks with a child's simplicity. The remarkable paper-cutout illustrations brilliantly evoke the Prague of old. (CZH38, $17.00)

	The Wall, Growing Up Behind the Iron Curtain • Peter Sis • BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR • FAMILY • With his usual flair and attention to detail, illustrator Peter Sis deftly sketches the events, experiences and history of his youth in Prague. (CZH78, $18.00)
