Most people who wrote back had discouraging news - No Big Books with Judaic content that anyone knows of. I've copied below the only comments I received that may be helpful to those who want to go further on this. If I have any luck, I'll let the list know - Please do the same if you are successful!
Aileen Grossberg: As far as I know-and I'm fairly familiar with Scholastic items- there are no books with specifically Jewish content. You might adapt one of the Big Book picture books becaue of the values in them. But except for Something for Nothing, I don't think there are any and I've not seen any from jewish publishers. Esther Merzel: If you want to make your own Jewish content big books, you can check out E-chinuch.org and search for big books. They have them for every holiday. I work for the ATT Frankel Teachers' Center and we have submitted many of the big books that we have created to E-chinuch.org. Linda Silver: I've never seen any big book editions of books of Jewish content except for Something From Nothing. I doubt if there are any.
