This review is from: Toby Belfer Never Had a Christmas Tree (Toby Belfer Series) (Hardcover)

When i was in college in new orleans, i had the pleasure of being Ms. Pusker's student in her children's literature class. that was the first time i was ever introduced to the Belfers, and even though i am not jewish, i intend to share this book with my daughter. i know that these books are a modern version for the life that Ms. Pushker led in southern louisiana, so that makes them even more special! Read them, they are really good!
