This short chapter book depicts the trials, tribulations, and eventual triumphs of a girl slated to be a flower girl at her beloved Uncle Harry's wedding--until Harry and his fiancée elope. The humorous text is supported by plenty of droll and appealing illustrations of the tight-knit Jewish family. Tempting recipes for Mama's Famous Wedding Cake and Coconut-Vanilla-Raisin Frosting are appended.
