The New Country Stories
from the Yiddish About Life in America
A classic work revisited and a testament
to the beauty and endurance of the mame-loshn (mother tongue)
through the trials and tribulations of Americanization.
For the first time, American children and adults can enjoy
the wonderfully lyrical fables of Itzik Kipnis, the internationally
acclaimed Yiddish writer. In The Little House, six animal
friends discover a beautiful fallen clay pot that they call their
home. They live and play happily together until a big bear tries
to kick them out. Joining forces, they battle to win back their
little house. Translated from the original Yiddish, this bilingual
English /Yiddish book reads as beautifully left to right as it
does right to left. A special Yiddish pronunciation chart is included
for educational purposes.
