{"product_id":"too-young-for-yiddish-richard-michelson-9780881061185","title":"Too Young for Yiddish","description":"Young Aaron wants to learn how to speak to the chickens like his Zayde (grandfather). Zayde's stories and his many books, with their mysterious worlds and their guarded secrets, fascinate Aaron. But always Aaron is too young to learn Yiddish. Zayde thinks that Aaron, and all the new generation of American Jews, should speak English and play baseball-just like all Americans do. When Zayde becomes very old and can no longer see well enough to read his precious books, Aaron decides it is time that Zayde teach him to speak to the chickens before it's too late. This poignant tale about preserving a dying language and the memories of the people who spoke it is also an eloquent tale of America. The importance of heritage and culture, and of honoring the past while building a future, is instilled in young minds through this touching story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Michelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0881061182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881061185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlesbridge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.36h x 9.36w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e153243 \/ Too Young for Yiddish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Sydney Taylor Book Award - Notable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2002 pg. 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/14\/2002 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2002 pg. 1142\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2002 pg. 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 338 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2002 pg. 338 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw","brand":"Richard Michelson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926748725503,"sku":"9780881061185","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_79ac0a90-aaa5-41fe-9b47-b6c92fcd7af4.jpg?v=1681084794","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/too-young-for-yiddish-richard-michelson-9780881061185","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
