A Gefilte Fishy Tale--a story in rhyme by Allison and Wayne Marks and illustrated by Renée Andriani--presents a day in the life of Bubbe, Zayde, their grandson Jack, and their dog, Butterscotch. It’s Friday morning and, as usual, Bubbe Judy has brought home a giant jar of gefilte fish—her grandson Jack’s favorite dish—for the family’s Shabbos meal. But something is wrong: the lid is stuck. Oy! That’s when the excitement begins!

​

Bubbe, Zayde, and Jack--along with their dog, Butterscotch--schlep the jar all over town, seeking assistance from a dentist, a bodybuilder, an inventor, and other friends. But no one can unscrew that lid. Such tsuris!

When aunts, uncles, and cousins arrive for dinner, they try to help, too. Giggles and groans fill the air as everyone takes a turn. Will that lid ever pop off?

Find out in this humorous gefilte fishy tale, lightly sprinkled with Yiddish.
