Uncle Eli's Wedding

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sernur Isik. Daniel feels left out at his uncle Eli's wedding but uses their shared love of soccer to save the ceremony. Teachable moments about Jewish weddings are integrated into the story, and a page of explanation follows. In both characterization and the cartoon illustrations, the two bubbes exemplify too many stereotypes, detracting a bit from the book's celebration of Jewish culture. Glos.
Reviewer: Miriam Steinberg-Egeth
