What They're Saying
Critics Review
” Heartwarming and humorous .” – Booklist
★ “An excellent addition to the Jewish tradition.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Heartwarming and humorous.” —Booklist
“This clever story, inspired by a discussion in the Talmud, celebrates community and friendship… . The message of kindness and generous giving, as the characters move from anger to friendship, is both ancient and relevant today.” —School Library Journal
“Wieder’s brisk prose—punctuated by the refrain ‘A mouse! A mouse! Brought bread into our house!‘—and Kober’s warmhearted cartooning successfully turn the story into one of community cooperation and celebration.” —Publishers Weekly
“What may be surprising about this amusing story is that it is based on an actual passage from the Talmud… . The brightly colored and expressive illustrations are an energetic match for the lively story.” —Jewish Book Council
