A fun and varied collection of Jewish jokes and stories appropriate for kids and their families. What’s especially neat about this book is that it includes a lot of Yiddish sayings, a Glossary defining terms, and specific stories and scenarios that hilariously illustrate the meaning of certain hard-to-translate Yiddish words. I’ve never seen a better (or funnier) way to differentiate between a Schlemiel and a Shlimazel!!
Did I mention that the illustrations are a stitch? Well, they are. Especially rewarding are the clever culturally relevant little details embedded in them, such as the replica of a Yiddish newspaper, and ever more Jewish jokes (can you have too many??). Great to read aloud and to thumb through.
