From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4 The author/illustrator of A New England Village (1983) and The Pennsylvania Dutch (1986, both Atheneum) turns her attention to the entrance of a small Jewish population into the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam in 1654. Costabel discusses their flight from the Inquisition in Brazil; their introduction into the daily life of the colony; the conditions under which they lived; the trades that they were allowed to practice; and their adherence to to their religious traditions despite the fact that Stuyvesant did not allow them to build a synagogue. She concludes with the British takeover in 1664, adding that not until 1727 were the full benefits of citizenship allowed to Jewish members of the now-British colony. The information is compactly arranged in two-page units, most including a full-page illustration, either in color or pen and ink. Costabel's styleboth in her text and picturesis undistinguished, evoking the facts but not the feelings or events, but her information is well researched. Jacqueline Greene's Out of Many Waters (Walker, 1988) is an effective historical novel on this topic for older readers. Costabel's book serves to introduce the same subject to younger children in an entertaining, if not particularly inspiring, fashion. Christine Behrmann, New York Public Library
