All-of-a-Kind Family Audiobook

" I loved these stories when I was a child "

" The sweet story of five young girls and their family adventures during the early 1900's. A perfect story for young girls di=uringa ny day and age! "

" It must have been a sequel that I read as a child. Only the name 'Henny' rings a clear bell here, but the nostalgic family affection shines through. I am, however, disturbed by everyone thinking it's ok that Papa can't be happy until he has a boy. I mean, I know 'someone to go to Seder with me' was (is?) important, but poor Mama! And the girls don't mind being second-class citizens, expected to cook & clean and wear three petticoats and itchy stockings their whole lives? His little Highness isn't going to wear hand-me-downs or play with used toys. I'm tempted to keep reading, but I suspect that the girls will grow to be ever more loving and patient and good and I just can't stand it. "

" Loved this book as a kid! Read this before you read THE PENDERWICKS. "

" A Jewish family with five girls, and father who owns a junk shop. The chapters are filled with the sharing of all of the Jewish holidays and traditions. "

" Charming sweeting stories about five jewish sister growing up in pre WW1 era. I enjoyed reading about how they celebrate their holidays from a childs perspective. "

" An all-girl family except for Papa until the very end when new baby shows up..quite cute. "

" This was a sweet book. It's along the same vein as A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, but it's a children's book so the story is simple. I don't know how I hadn't heard of this book before because it was written in the 1950's. I love reading about Jewish families in New York City during the turn of the century. "

" kind of a sweet urban Jewish "Little Women". "

" I must have read this book about a dozen times when I was 8 to 9 years old, along with the other books by this same author. "

" My favorite books growing up. Such love for this series. "

" I read this outloud with my kids ages 7 & 10. We all enjoyed it and it spurred on great conversations. I would definitely recommend it. "

" 5 little Jewish girls have little-girl adventures in a burrough of 1912 New York City. "

" I read my Mom's copy from when she was a kid of All-of-a-Kind Family. It was amazing for me then, and it still is one of my favorite books. It's sweet, touching, and young readers can really relate. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting the All-of-a-Kind family, one of my favorite series as child. Looking forward to reading the rest! "

" Still one of my favorite childhood books. It's a sweet look into a Jewish family in 1900s New York with a bonus love story. I adore it. "

" This book was good but a little confusing. "

" Read this all the way through with Rafi. Forgot how sad it can get. "

" 4.5, really. If I hadn't had to explain the whole "All I want is a boooooyyyyyyyyy" from the dad final story, it would have been a 5. "

" best book ever....i hve read it more than once "

" I have been trying to remember the title of this book so I could reread it for probably 20 years, maybe more. So, so happy I found it and see that there is a series! "

" Darling story set in the early 1900's - everyday happenings of five sisters written smartly and quaintly. This is also an nice little primer about the Jewish faith and traditions. "

" I think reading this series when I was a kid fed my fascination with New York City and the lives of immigrants. I think it was one of my first "chapter books" that I could read by myself. "

" I love this book! It is just as marvellous reading it as an adult as it was when I was a child. "

" It's unfortunate that I didn't read this as a kid. What brought these stories up from mediocre was the bits about the family's Jewish culture - I liked that a lot. Great for young kids, I'm sure, crusty adults maybe not. "

" This served as a fast, easy and fun read. A children's book the plot is plain and clear. A fun read. I liked it. "

" A great historical fiction piece about a Jewish family living in a New York city tenement during the 1920's. "

" The sweet story of five young girls and their family adventures during the early 1900's. A perfect story for young girls di=uringa ny day and age! "

" Like lower reading-level, Jewish Little Women. "

" This was one of my favorites growing up! I had forgotten about it. :) "

" The girls are loving this; it plays all the time in our house! "

" it was great, the baby boy, and the great spot were Charlie and The Library lady figure out how each other are and get married! "

" Still one of my favorite books from childhood. I shared this book with my oldest daughter as soon as she was old enough to read. It is a heartwarming, book. "
