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 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!
