Yes, here are some I purchased this summer. Series titles are in parentheses. I don't believe these are "pro-Israel" but they were for the most part free of the misinformation and flat-out bias that I saw in many books. I wrote an article for our temple newsletter about my experience looking for unbiased books on Israel for kids; if anyone would like a copy, email me. Here are the books I bought and kept:
