Fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder'sLittle Housebooks will enjoy a citified version as Sydney Taylor gives a charming glimpse at a time when daily life was very different, but family and faith were surprisingly the same.

After moving uptown to the Bronx, the charming All-of-a-Kind Family have a new home, new neighbors and new friends. There's always something exciting going on. Ella misses Jules who has joined the Army, Henny spills tea on a dress she borrowed without asking, Sarah works to win a prize at school, Charlotte takes the elevated train without paying her fare, Gertie makes a pancake, and Charlie is terrified when he meets Santa Claus! And things are are especially busy as Mother has gone into the hospital, and everyone must help out to make the house run smoothly.

Generations of readers have loved growing up with the five Jewish girls whose trials and triumphs are as recognizable today as they were a hundred years ago. This fourth title of the series follows the girls as they grow into much more independent young women, and younger brother Charlie keeps everyone on their toes.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Born in 1904 on New York's Lower East Side, Sydney Taylor was one of the first authors of children’s books centered on Jewish characters. She didn’t begin writing until she married and had a daughter, to whom she told bedtime stories about growing up with five sisters. She wrote a manuscript and put it in a drawer, and it wasn’t until her husband secretly submitted it to Charles A. Follet Award for Writing that Taylor’s bedtime stories became the immensely popular All-of-a-Kind Family series.

Taylor died in 1978 at the age of seventy-three. The Sydney Taylor Book Award is given each year by the Jewish Association of Libraries to a book for young people that authentically portrays the Jewish experience.

I loved the All of a Kind Family books when I was a kid. They were my first real introduction to my Jewish heritage and traditions. I thought they might be a bit old fashioned for my grandchildren but both my 7 year old grandson and 4 year old granddaughter love them. I only wish there were more. Can't wait to read them the Hanukkah one next.

The All of a Kind family faces hardship as they confront illness, disappointment and war, and the joys of reunion, birth, and growing up. In their new home they learn about Christian traditions and save for the war effort.

They are just the warmest loving family, just like I remember 50 yrs ago. How thankful I was to be able to share them with my little girl today. We read at bedtime to her.

This book (and it’s series) are great books

The only thing I don’t like about this series and this book is it always stops so abruptly.
But besides that these are great books!
