I have read this book to my daughters so many times I've lost track. They want to hear it over and over and over again. And my daughter's classmate even dressed up for Purim as Kind Little Rivka. This is a book that is a MUST for every little Jewish girl's bookshelf.

Question: How many times have I read "Kind Little Rivka?" to my daughters?

Answer: I lost count years ago...

And somehow life would not have been the same without it. My kids request this one over and over and over again.

This has got to be THE classic little girls' story for ANY Jewish home.
