Bubbe & Zaide stars the grandparents of the Matzah Ball Books gang during a visit of their grandkids to their house. That day, true to their namesakes, Noshy Boy eats everything he gets his hands on, Shmutzy Girl makes a messy art project, Klutzy Boy clumsily breaks a window and Shluffy Girl sleeps any where and every where. But Bubbe and Zaide only see the good in their grandkids. Even Kvetchy Boy's complaints are seen as "observant," because "when you love someone, you look for the good." A true testament to unconditional grandparent love. For ages 0-7 years old. And grandparents, of course. :)

One doesn't have to be Jewish to recognize the words that have made their way into every fold of popular language: Chutzpah, Mensch, Tokhes, Mishmash, Nudge, Shtick, Schmaltzy, Schlep, Icky, and so on. Then there are phrases whose meaning and syntax are borrowed from Yiddish: "bite your tongue", "drop dead", "enough already", and "excuse the expression". This hilarious, concise guide includes chapters on the Basic Descriptions of People (the good, the bad, the ugly, and the goofy), the Fine Art of Cursing, Juicy Words and Phrases, Exclamations and Exasperations, and the Fine Art of Blessing.

From author Amanda Panitch comes The Trouble with Good Ideas, a hilarious middle-grade novel with a magical twist about a girl, a golem, and her ailing grandfather, perfect for fans of The Fourteenth Goldfish. Twelve-year old Leah Nevins is NOT a fan of change. So when her parents start whispering about sending her beloved Jewish great-grandpa Zaide to an assisted living facility (hospital jail!), she is very resistant. Zaide’s house, where her family gathers on Saturday afternoons, is the only place where Leah feels like she truly belongs. Sending Zaide away would change everything. Luckily, Leah remembers a story Zaide once told her about building a golem—a creature from Jewish mythology made out of clay—to protect their family from the Nazis in Poland. So, of course, Leah decides to make a golem of her own to look after Zaide. The directions he gave her were pretty easy to follow, but there is one thing he never told her: what to do when a golem turns against its creator.
