About the Book

Funny rhymes and charming illustrations bring a family's pre-Shabbos predicament to life! It's Friday morning and, as usual, Bubbe Judy has brought home a giant jar of gefilte fish-her grandson Jack's favorite dish-for the family's Shabbos meal. But something is wrong: the lid is stuck. Oy! That's when the excitement begins! Bubbe, Zayde, and Jack-along with their dog, Butterscotch-schlep (drag) the jar all over town, seeking assistance from a dentist, a bodybuilder, an inventor, and other friends. But no one can unscrew that lid. Such tsuris (grief)! When aunts, uncles, and cousins arrive for dinner, they try to help, too. Giggles and groans fill the air as everyone takes a turn. Will that lid ever pop off? Find out in this humorous, rhyming picture book for Shabbat, lightly sprinkled with Yiddish. More fun is inside with a recipe for delicious gefilte fish mini muffins, a new song for Shabbos, and a Yiddish-English glossary for the whole mishpocha (family)!

Review :
"A FANTASTIC, genuinely funny read-aloud." -Jenn Starkman, Noodlenuts Kids' Books [A] humorous story . . . [T]he images are a delight . . . Silly predicaments, strong rhyming verse, amusing illustrations, and a kid's victory-a pleasing Shabbos tale." -Kirkus Reviews "Never before have the trials and tribulations of opening a jar of gefilte fish in time for Shabbat been so much fun!" -RENA CITRIN, ASSOCIATION OF JEWISH LIBRARIES "[A] heartwarming tale that's sure to become a family favorite." -CLEVELAND JEWISH NEWS "The lyrical text is matched by whimsical illustrations with entertaining facial expressions and discussion-worthy detail throughout." -THE CHILDREN'S BOOK REVIEW "[A] delightful rhyming tale filled with Yiddish expressions. . . .
