I loved this book and hope that many people can come to appreciate the Yiddish appearing throughout.

I loved this children's book, the rhyming, dilemma, and way it was solved. I loved getting a glimpse of words used within a different religion and teaching my son in a fun way. It has all the necesssary parts of a children's story, in my honest opinion. A quick, fun read; but also a book that teaches and helps children learn new words meaning and foods they might not learn otherwise! Highly recommend parents buying a copy and reading it and teaching their children what this book offers! Love that it only took the magic word, we always preach, to end the dilemma that many stronger, bigger, and smarter could not fix!

This was a fun story about a whole bunch of people who can't unscrew a jar of gefelte fish. The whole town chips in to the task. The story has Yiddish words throughout it, but there is a glossary before you read the book of all of the words. It tells the definitions and how to pronounce the words. The illustrations are great. They are colorful and fun. After the story is over, there is a recipe for Gefelte Fish Mini Muffins and a song called "Shabbat a Lot" to sing if you want. Children and adults alike don't even have to be Jewish to enjoy this fun story. I would definitely recommend it.
