This funny book concerns the children of Mama Gefilte, who, one by one and to Mama's chagrin ("Oy vey!"), fail to return from their daily outings. The chock-full-of-Yiddish text and illustrations--e.g., the theater poster advertising Goldie Lox & the 3 Shmears--will appeal mostly to those already in the know, but a glossary will help the uninitiated.
