5.0 out of 5 stars The family moves to the Bronx, July 27, 2000

By	J. Austin "jodylync" (Dublin, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: All of a Kind Family Uptown (All-Of-A-Kind Family) (Hardcover)

Ella, Henny, Sarah, Charlotte, Gertie, and baby Charlie move with their parents from New York's lower East Side to the Bronx in this wonderful sequel. In this story, Ella's beau joins the army to fight for the cause in WWI. You briefly learn about how the city was coping with the war over seas and about more Jewish traditions. This story is an educational delight for all ages and should be reprinted for the next generation of readers.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great children's book - why is it out of print?, May 5, 2000

By	snafooey "snafooey" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All-Of-A-Kind Family Uptown (Hardcover)

...I loved the entire series as a child, and this book was noexception. This book is also an excellent learning tool for children,Jewish or non-Jewish looking to learn more about Jewish culture in the earlier part of this century. The author writes with such a genuine affection for her subjects (her own family, apparently), the reader can't help but be drawn into the world of the story...END

5.0 out of 5 stars part of a wonderful series, May 20, 1999

This review is from: All-Of-A-Kind Family Uptown (Hardcover)

I loved the whole series of All of a Kind Family books. I can't believe they are out of print. Incidentally, it takes place during World War I, not WWII as another reviewer stated.
