K-Gr 3-A well-known retelling of a Yiddish folktale. The story revolves around a poor man who, upon complaining to his rabbi about his cramped living space and the resulting tensions within his family, is advised to take the animals into the house as well. He learns to appreciate his accommodations when he finally removes the creatures. The writing provides sufficient description for those unfamiliar with the cultural context, and the watercolor illustrations reflect the characters' changing moods. An excellent tale with universal appeal.-Lisa Kooper, Queens Borough Public Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
