Beautiful artwork., December 5, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Market Wedding (Hardcover)
I picked up this book not for my kids but for me. The artwork is wonderful and the story is quite endearing. It's about a couple who work in Kensington market (in Toronto) around the 1920's. The story tells of how they meet, fall in love and have a grand wedding. But they are simple market shop owners of simple means. How do their friends react? Won't tell you how it ends but it's an uplifting tale.
I would recommend this selection to anyone who enjoyed "Something from nothing", (award winning book).

Charming story with beautiful artwork, August 16, 2006
This review is from: The Market Wedding (Hardcover)
The Market Wedding is a charming story, that makes one think about priorities, materialist culture, and friendships. It is a well written book and great for reading aloud to the family or classroom. Market Wedding was chosen to be included in the Jewish Community Library of Los Angeles public radio production "One People Many Stories: Jewish Stories from Around the World." Anne Meara reads this surprise ending storybook on the Library's CD.
