A fun read-aloud based on a classic Jewish folktale.
“Hilarious with sly, tongue-in-cheek humor” –Midwest Review of Books
Lou lives in a shoe and doesn't know what to do. A contemporary mash-up of the Mother Goose tale with the traditional Jewish folktale about a family with an overcrowding problem, this high-energy adventure is chock-full of animals, kids, humor, whimsy, and silliness.
A laugh-out-loud romp, this tale serves as a fun reminder that sometimes things have to go from bad to worse, before you realize they were wonderful all along!
