This is the cutest rendition of an old favorite! I just love it and so do my boys! From the beautifully vibrant illustrations, to the funny "kvetching" of the hen in the occassional Yiddish, to the teaching about the Passover traditions, to the lesson of being kind, it is a great story! One that I actually don't mind reading even when it's not the Passover season. This a a great gift and perfect for all children, even babies and toddlers, again because of the wonderful wording and pictures. There are also instructions in the end about how to make your own homemade matzah for the older children. A+++Tuesday, April 3, 2012

The Five People You Meet in Heaven
by Mitch Albom, 198 Pages.
Although the book was small, I had a hard time getting through it. The protagonist is a great character and his story is interesting, but I got hung up on the author's depiction of heaven. My advise would be to read the book knowing that the picture of heaven portrayed is simply an avenue to lead you to the five important life lessons you can glean from the story. I'd say this is a great book for anyone who seems to have regrets about past choices, and it is definitely an important read for teenagers. The author leads you through a man's life, Eddie, who has gone through many trials, blaming others, or focusing on the bad events, and not realizing the hidden blessings that followed him. Reading the story reminded me that our lives effect others and vice versa. For most, this is a fast read, but it leaves a lasting impression.
