Children's Literature

Goldreich has created a wonderful bedtime book. The pictures are magnificent, showing all the joys of life in the Shtetl, while not totally glossing over the fact that shtetl life was often difficult, dirty, and poor. The story "Don't Make Me Do What My Father Did" is laugh-aloud funny-what could his father have done when no one would give him food? And "Half Price to Letchev" teaches us that a bargain is often worth even less than what you paid for it. The pictures are fabulous. A garden is so real that the vegetables and flowers just beg to be picked.
