K-3
Illustrated by
Deborah Melmon.
Sara and Carly become fast friends after meeting at Camp Shalom. That is, until Sara thinks Carly has made fun of her last name (Frankfurter) and subsequently ignores her. At a Shabbat singing session, Carly reveals her own meat-related surname, and the friendship is restored. The very slight, if warmhearted, story is accompanied by friendly cartoon illustrations featuring emotive, big-round-headed campers.
