"The Yankee at the Seder" is a beautifully illustrated children's book. It is a 9 3/4 inch by 12 3/4 inch, 36 page book with a beautifully illustrated dust jacket and pictorial cover. The subject of the Civil War combined with the celebration of the Passover Seder is a wonderful story plot which can be enjoyed by all ages. Anyone in 4th grade or above should be able to read this book without much trouble. There are a few Jewish words that the average reader may not know like: Afikoman, Haggadah, Matzoh, and Seder. Fortunately the author includes a glossary at the beginning of the book which explains the meanings of these words. The author also includes a biographical sketch and historical information about the characters in the book and the historical account of the Passover at the end of the book. Every other page is a full color, full page illustration. These illustrations accurately portray the feelings and personalities of the characters through their facial expressions. This book is based on a true story which occurred at the end of the American Civil War.

 The long Civil War is finally over and 10 year old Jacob is sitting on his front porch eating a piece of matzoh and lamenting the Confederate loss of the War of Northern Aggression. Suddenly a Yankee Jewish corporal came walking down the street and asked Jacob for a piece of his matzoh. Jacob ran in the house and told his mother that a Yankee Jew was outside. Jacob's mother invites the Yankee stranger to their seder that evening. This southern Jewish family puts into practice the meaning of the Seder -- "All who are hungry, let them come and eat: all who are in need, let them join us for the Passover meal."  Although the Yankee corporal and Jacob and his family have their differences, they celebrate their commonality with each other. After the seder, the Yankee corporal leaves. A year later in the midst of the despair and economic hardships in the south, Jacob and his family receive a barrel from the Yankee corporal. Inside the barrel there was lots of matzoh and a bottle of wine for use at their seder. At the bottom of the barrel was a silver goblet inscribed in Hebrew with the following words, "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof."

The author conveys the historical background of the Passover and the American Civil War in an easy to read and understand picture book. All children in 4th grade and above, could understand the comparison of the American Civil War and the deiverance of the Jewish people from Egyptian bondage. This is a great way to teach some of the wonderful truths of the deliverance of the Jews from the Egyptians and also the struggle of the South against the North. The book teaches children that it is possible to overlook our differences and celebrate the things which we have in common.

My wife is a dachshund lover. I am a pretty big fan myself. This is a cute, short, fanciful children's story about how the dachshund came to be. If that sound appealing, this is great.

I just found The A-Team.  Murdock is wonderful!  Well, I mean veterinarian Vern and his trusty sidekick Socky.  The detail and paint is clean and correct.  He is not a bobble head like some of the other Pops.  On the back of Murdock's jacket is the decal of the tiger, just like it should be.  The image is very detailed, making me want to display him by a mirror.  Socky even has his little eyes.  It has never been more fun breaking out of the VA.

You cannot go wrong with a Droll Yankee product.  I own several different styles of the Droll Yankees and I'll most likely will still purchase them in the future.  This Dipper does work very well against squires.  Never seen a squirrel yet bet it.

Received promptly. A friend on Facebook informed me that this favorite was going to be discontinued. I ordered 2 and Yankee Candles smell so good in my house. I believe Yankee Candle makes the best scented candles, although Devlyn is also an awesome candle maker from Texas.

Those are the names of the sweet wiener dogs we have loved and lost.  My wife and I love the breed.  We have three now..Casper, Daisy Mae, and Mr Hottie Dog!

We love this art print by DJ Rogers.  It reminds us of all of our sweet boys and one girl.  But especially the 4 boys who have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.

DJ Rogers has done another similar one of a black dachsund running on the beach.  It looks like our Daisy Mae!

These make great gifts.  He has done these prints of just about every dog breed there is.  Anyway, many of them!  We gave our dogsitter notecards that pictured a Boxer.

If you love dogs, you will love these prints.

Yankee magazine has a variety of articles.  They are well written and entertaining.  I even enjoy the ads in the magazine.  Being a New Englander for 66 years I feel like this magazine is directed to me.  Most glad I am subscribing.

This was a great hit with my grandson and my son. I also bought an album to organize the many cards in this collection. Because they were pleased with this set, I was happy. A great deal and something every baseball fan will love.

While Yankee Doodle America: The Spirit of 1776 from A to Z would be an excellent purchase for a child, it is also a book of such high quality that adults will adore it. It's a perfect coffee table book. If you love the story of the American Revolution, this book belongs in your library.

Arranged in alphabetical order, a series of truly magnificent illustrations take the reader down a colonial road following the signs that will ultimately take them through the years of 1765 to 1783 to meet the most stellar characters and sites of our history.

This book is very well crafted. The research is impeccable and you will treasure the illustrations.

Thank you, Wendell Minor!

A tree fell on the feeder and it still works. A little wobbly but an amazing achievement. Brome is as good as Droll Yankee but a little cheaper. The cardinal ring is a big plus. I have the Droll Yankee Flipper but my other 5 feeders are ALL Brome. Droll Yankee does have a lifetime warrantee and will honor it.

My Grandson is really into playing with and dressing up like Super Heroes. I purchased the Darth Vader Mr. Potato Head for Christmas last year. I thought this would be a great addition to his collection. I noticed some of the other Mr. Potato Head's to complete a collection are a bit pricey. It would be nice if the company would lower the price so they could be played together. Mr. Potato Head has been around for years. It has been just lately that  Playschool has come out with additional figures.

What a charming and whimsical book! My five-year-old son loves drawing, so Ive taken to doodling along with him. One of his favorite things to draw is our family, complete with our dog, so I thought this would be the perfect book to try out with him.

The book is divided into four parts. The first part is full of quirky things like lists (including signs you're a dog person  Your pockets are full of poop pick-up bags), dog facts, and a dog alphabet. It also has several pages of example dogs and dog faces, demonstrating different characteristics and emotions. The meat of the book is the 30-some pages in part 2 where you learn how to draw several species of dogs step by step (French bulldog, dachshund, bichon frise, greyhound, collie, and poodle). Part 3 experiments with hats, patterns (a tie-dye dog?), a series of anthropomorphic dogs (including Lucky the Lab Technician), dogs in costumes, dog houses, and dog toys. Part 4 is a series of templates of already drawn dogs for you to doodle on.

Its super cute, and suitable for children as well as adults. My five-year-old got a kick out of drawing dogs with hats, and loved looking at all the various dog doodles. If you're looking for lots of detailed step-by-step guides, I think youd be disappointed. Instead, it kickstarted our imaginations (astronaut dog! alien dog!) and provided a fun afternoon full of giggles and doodles. I think this would make a super cute gift for any fan of dogs and drawing!

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

MY Grammie had a toy similar to this in her toy closet when I was a child. I don't think hers was curious george but since my grandkids are into curious george right now I thought they would like it. And it did give many long minutes of entertainment to the two oldest ones (ages 4 and 6) during their visit. It is holding up well so I think the quality is adequate.
