This review is from: More All-of-a-Kind Family [Unabridged CD Version] (Audio CD)

I grew up reading these sweet stories, and was thrilled to share them with my own children. I have been collecting the out-of-print books, and just need "Downtown" to complete our set. These cds are charming and great bedtime listening. A lot of what I remember of Jewish holidays comes from these books.

So glad to find the cds!
