Summary: Required reading for Arab-Israeli peace talks!
Comment: I'd like to completely agree with and expand on Amanda Quick's review of this book. I return to it again and again (I'm more than twice her age, so that's a lot of re-readings), and expressions like "library lady" have become part of my family vocabulary. Like Amanda, I was raised Protestant; I never knew anyone Jewish until I went to college, and although I had some idea of festivals and food (my family was very international in its speech: for example, we used the word "tuchus" all the time, but I didn't know it was Yiddish until years later), I learned a LOT from all of Taylor's books. I have been teaching people from all over the world for years, and without exception, the Israelis and Jews from other countries are thrilled that I know about holidays and rituals, and all want to read the Taylor books when I tell them how important they were to me. The story of Succos alone is worth the entire series--magical. I truly believe this series could contribute to international understanding and peace. Meanwhile, read them all--they'll make you feel good about life

Summary: what a book
Comment: This book is about a Jewish and poor family.There is papa, there's mama, there's Ella who is oldest, there's Henny short for Hennrietta, there's Sarah, there's Charlotte, and last but not least for now, there's Gertie. At this time at school the teachers give the children 1 penny each so they can buy a snack and a preaty good snack for 1 penny.So 1 dollar is a lot and a ton of money at that time. The interest of the book goes on throughout the book.I highly reccomend this for you to read. Sydney Taylor is a fantastic author for all ages.

Summary: Loved in our Family
Comment: Everyday my 3 year old boy listens to the audio tape of All of a Kind Family 3-5 times. He calls it his "little girls tape" and sits in front of the stereo drinking in the stories. While he loves the Little House in the Prairies cd's this is his long time favourite. We have listened to this continually for a year now and he has every word memorised... I should know because he often starts to retell the stories (verbatim) and my wife and I have to listen to this little gentile kid retell jewish stories. Anyway, it is a fantastic slice of life and definately helps us to inculcate the kind of values that we want in our family.
