The Schlemiel Kids Save the Moon by Audrey Barbakoff

medium-paced

3.0

 

I am not the right person for this book. The Shmuel family that lives in Clemm seem imbecilic. But that’s because this is the type of pass down traditional storytelling that works better vocally than on paper. The multiple Yiddish words are nice to see but needing to refer to a glossary or something else frequently makes it a bit harder to read. I also think this is overly long, which is why I think it would work better in a spoken tradition rather than a written one.
