A funny book about an ex-vaudevillian who wants a long-
delayed bar-mitzvah, and a precocious fourth-grader who wants
to be a comedian. They exchange services when Mr. Pearlstein
teaches Andrew 101 of his best jokes and Andrew teaches him
Hebrew. Other sub-plots are involved, but pale beside this one.

Holt, 1990. (3-6)
Its “bear-ly” Passover in this book as bear-cubs Rosie and Max
help their grandparents prepare for Passover. Assorted bear rel
atives arrive for the seder and Grandpa debuts as Elijah’s ghost!
Lovely illustrations, but none of the message of Passover.

Struggle.
Minneapolis, MN: Lerner, 1989. 284 p. (12 + )
A companion book to the author’s own
Stolen Years,
this is her
husband’s story. Told from a male point of view, it is emotionally
brutal, with fine writing. A necessary addition to any Holocaust
collection.
