"This is a great glimpse into early immigrant life in New York City seen through the lens of food and cohabitation. It gives a picture of where we came from and how we have become the fusion culinary culture we are today. For me, it feels as though I’m seeing the world through my grandparents' eyes as they traveled from Poland and Lithuania through Ellis Island, finally settling in Chicago. It helps paint a picture of my personal past."

Looking for a series or a good children book that may help with stress or stress-related things? Well, this book takes a look at a way to help your child or children. I love the way you can use yoga to help with emotions and stress.

This one is done well. It fun and enjoyable. Your child or yourself can learn from Little mouse adventure in the park. Your child or children will learn some good life lessons as well. Parents and grandparents will enjoy the book as well.

The pictures are fun. They are also enjoyable to look at as well. I see the problem solving throughout this book. The lesson taught in the book helps children learn a skill in their real world as well. Grandparents and parents alike will enjoy having the teaching of yoga and life lesson that children learn at a young age.

We know children get excited or scared. This book teaches about breathing and how to calm the mind in a fun and learnable experience.

Ricky is asked to help stop a crime by pretending to be a juvenile delinquent to help his grandparents stop the crime wave at the mobile home park they run. However, the vandalism he thinks he's after is just the tip of the iceberg. Once again, this is a crafty mystery filled with great characters kids (and adults) will love.

This book was, at times, extremely hard to read and very hard to put down once I began. I felt as though it was so easy to relate to which was the most devastating part of the book. It's definitely one I will recommend from here on out. It left me feeling extremely humbled and extremely thankful I had someone like my grandparents around when I was a child because most foster children are not lucky enough to be placed with someone like Kathy and Bruce's family.
