5.0 out of 5 stars Lighter Than Air, February 5, 2000

By A Customer

I found this book to be very colorful and very imaginative. My three year old loves it when all the relatives start to float. He helps me make matzah balls and after reading this book, he will actually eat them. I love how this poor woman brings her relatives back down to earth. It is a wonderful and warm book that children will love.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun-Filled Book, February 21, 1999

By A Customer

This is a funny, light hearted book about a family getting together for Passover. The mother trying to make light fluffy matzoh balls always reminds me of making matzoh balls with my mother - waiting and hoping they would float. The illustrations are great and the fun and funniness of family get togethers are events anyone can relate to and laugh at. By far it is my favorite Jewish children's book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please re-print this book!, March 31, 2005

By	Rona Kwestel (Maplewood, NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I actually have not seen or read this book beyond what is visible on Amazon's website, but it looks like such a charming book and I would desperately like to have a copy for my son if I could find it at a fair price. I've been searching high and low to no avail. I think it's outrageous that people are trying to sell it for almost $200, and good luck to them finding a buyer. If you are also interested in this book, please try contacting URJ Press at 888-489-8242 and urge them to re-print it!
