5.0 out of 5 stars
An extraordinarily wise, tender and engrossing book,
By A Customer
This review is from: When Zaydeh Danced on Eldridge Street (Hardcover)
Elsa Okon Rael is making a true place for herself in young children's literature. Both this book and her earlier Zeesie story evoke a time in immigrant history, but more, bring to life a very real little girl amid her loving family. There is no better gift for a grandmother to give her grandchild or one that will be reread so often.

Sydney Taylor Award Winner for Younger Children,
By A Customer
This review is from: When Zaydeh Danced on Eldridge Street (Hardcover)
This is a delicious Simchat Torah story based on the tension between a bright little girl and her fearsomely stern grandfather. Stylized illustrations capture New York's Lower East Side in the 1930's as a curious heroine provokes a joyous outcome. For younger children.

This review is from: When Zaydeh Danced on Eldridge Street (Hardcover)
This book captures you quickly and holds you the length of the story. I found the story enlightening as it explained one of the Jewish holidays with reverence and warmth. A wonderful book for younger children of any religion!
