Praise for FIVE LITTLE GEFILTES
"Think of this as pretty tasty schmear."--Publishers
Weekly
"Silly, but all in good fun."--School Library Journal
"The illustrations are full of humor . . .Nostalgic looks back at
the lively culture of immigrant Jews are worthy of
applause."--Kirkus Reviews
"You do not have to be Jewish to enjoy reading the tale of the five
little gefiltes . . . The jolly nonsense is visualized with cut
paper, charcoal, and colored pencils on double-page spreads. Very
simple city settings include background silhouettes of buildings
and, frequently, storefronts with funny signs. Speech balloons give
a few characters a chance to express feelings such as "What a
shnook" or "Such chutzpah." The family is depicted as simple ovals
with a few lines that still manage to communicate their feelings
quite clearly. As the guys note on the jacket, "Such a nice
book.""--Children's Literature
