Stories of King Solomon

Storybooks:

Bialik, Hayyim Nahman (trans. by Herbert Danby), And It Came to Pass. New York: Hebrew Publishing Company, 1938. Bialik's compilation of classical midrashim and tales about King David and King Solomon. Wonderful stories, but archaic English style. (age 12+)
Citrin, Paul J. , Joseph's Wardrobe. UAHC, 1987. Modern midrashic tale of adventure set in the time of King Solomon, whose purpose is to explore and explain five core Jewish values. (age 10+)
Freehof, Lillian S., Stories of King David and Stories of King Solomon. JPS, 1955. Enchanting retellings of classical midrashim and folktales. Kids adore these stories and so will their parents.

Picture Books:

Greenberg, Blu and Linda Tarry, King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, Pitspopany Press, 1997. Greenberg and Tarry present Makeda, the princess who ascends to the throne of Sheba, in her own light, and weave her story with that of King Solomon; two monarchs brought together because they share the love of wisdom and a passion for riddles. Two great leaders of two great peoples come together, a model for modern times.
MacGill-Callahan, Sheila, When Solomon Was Young, Dial Books for Young Readers, 1995. Illustrated by Stephen T. Johnson, this beautiful book tells the story of Solomon's relationship with the animal world, from his youthful compassion through his hauty disregard at the height of his power, to his relearning of compassion and humility. The book weaves together several tales about King Solomon into a seamless tale with an important lesson to teach: Jews do not hunt for pleasure. (age 5 and up)
Oberman, Sheldon, The Wisdom Bird, Boyd Mills Press, 2000. This book is a genuine winner and must-have. It is clever and beautiful and delivers a powerful message about the real meaning of wisdom and the importance of moral principles over proud promises. This book should sit on every religious school bookshelf. The illustrations by Neil Waldman are lovely.
Renberg, Dalia Hardof, King Solomon and the Bee. Harper Collins, 1994. A beautiful retelling of the tale of King Solmon and the Queen of Sheba's riddle, which may have been the creation of Hayyim Nahman Bialik. The illustrations by Ruth Heller are magnificent. (age 4+)
