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 is a gorgeous, well-written cookbook. There are lots of photos and drawings included. I've tried just a few of the recipes, which were excellent, but the true joy comes from reading it. I love reading about what people eat in books. Well described high teas, savory stews or scones always delight me. This book is like a day in the Irish country-side where you feel the fire in the hearth and a glass of fresh cold milk at your side. A delicious offering.
