 | Little Gold Star by Robert D. San Souci, Sergio Martinez
This version of the CINDERELLA story is set in Mexico and combines elements of the traditional fairy tale with Roman Catholic mythology. Teresa is displaced when her widowed father marries a cruel window who has two vain daughters. When Teresa's stepmother kills Teresa's favorite lamb, she forces Teresa to wash the lamb's fleece so that she can make herself a soft pillow. While at the river, Teresa meets the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus. After this, goodness is manifested in a gold star on her forehead. When her stepsisters see the star, they decided they want stars for themselves and immediately seek out the Holy Family. However, their selfish behavior is rewarded in a very different way. Much like Cinderella's glass slipper, Teresa's gold star wins her the heart of a handsome bachelor. Color illustrations accompany the text. AUTHOR: Robert D. San Souci, Sergio Martinez

 | The Blessing of the Animals by Michael J. Rosen
Jared, a Jewish boy, is looking forward to going with Ian, his Catholic friend, to a Blessing of the Animals on St. Francis's feast day. Jared really wants his dog, Shayna, to be blessed but when Jared mentions the ceremony to his mother she thinks it might not be such a good idea for a Jewish family to participate in a Catholic ceremony. Jared's mother agrees that Jared should make up his own mind, but urges him to get the opinions of four other people and promises that she'll do the same. Jared decides to speak to his father, his great grandfather, a rabbi, and a Holocaust survivor--all have different opinions. Still, it's up for Jared to decide whether or not he and Shayna will attend the Blessing of the Animals. B&w illustrations accompany the text. AUTHOR: Michael J. Rosen
