AJL Newsletter
“This is a wonderful story about how to make a difference in other people’s lives and the importance of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and tzedekah (charity).” — AJL Reviews
BayViews
“In this picture book, Joey’s parents have a dishwasher delivered, which comes in a gigantic box. Joey begs his mom, who wants to recycle it, to let him keep it as a plaything. Mom convinces Joey to give it to his school as a donation box to help him learn about helping others. Despite the heavily didactic tone, some parents and teachers will find that this works well as a read-aloud. Byrne’s clear illustrations jell well with the text to tell a lively story while presenting a moral lesson.” — BayViews
