| PreS-Gr 2–As Mr. Flegleman, an organic chicken rancher, unloads his crates in front of Phil's Poultry World, one brave and clever fowl, determined not to become Friday night's dinner, manages to escape. Unfortunately, beautiful Yetta is homesick and lonely in Brooklyn. The rats and pigeons tell her to get lost, and she almost gets hit by a bus. When she saves a little green bird, Eduardo, from a cat, she gains new friends and a family among the parrots on the telephone wires, and they teach her how to find fruit and crusts of pizza. While the narration is in English, Yetta's dialogue is in Yiddish, and the parrots speak Spanish (both with English translations and transliterations). The comical marker and ink illustrations enhance the text, but, without the language gimmick, there isn't much to the story. However, this would make for an entertaining reader's theater, especially with authentic Yiddish and Spanish accents. And dedicated fans of the Pinkwaters will appreciate the offbeat, wry humor, as will those interested in the many urban legends surrounding Brooklyn's flocks of wild parrots. Unlike Dave Horowitz's Five Little Gefiltes (Putnam, 2007) and Simms Taback's Kibitzers and Fools (Viking, 2005), which introduce children to the joys of Yiddish, the Pinkwaters'offering may have trouble reaching a wide audience.Rachel Kamin, North Suburban Synagogue Beth El, Highland Park, IL

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| We received this book through PJ library, and it quickly went to the top of the nighttime reading list for my 2 and 3 year olds. They love the story, they love repeating the Yiddish and Spanish after me (their favorite phrase is "farstunkene katz!"), and the story leads to lots of questions from them as well (Why do the birds eat pizza from the garbage? Why can't Yetta stand on the telephone wire?"). It's fun to read aloud as well, and the English is simple enough for my 3 year old to read independently, yet not so simple that it puts me to sleep. A delight. |
