This was one of my all time favorite books growing up. I'm only parting with this one because I have two copies! What a sweet story of a simpler time.

This is a delightful, timeless story of a Jewish family of girls in New York City around the turn of the last century. For grade 4 and up. There are sequels.

This sweet book about a Jewish family at the turn of the century brings back memories of 'the good old days' when the pace was slower and families had time to truly enjoy one another.

This is a delightful book set in NY's Lower Eastside in 1912. The sisters are wonderful, fully realized characters. I love that each chapter is a story unto itself. I think this would be a wonderful read-aloud for 2nd or third grade. My 7th and 5th graders are listening to it on our commute and seem to be enjoying it. A+. I wished I had read these when I was young!

This was one of my favorite books as a child and I requested it to give to my eleven year old granddaughter.
