Summary: Fully Kosher
Review: This is a fine little book. Granted, I had to explain a lot of the Yiddish to my gentile friends, while even the shiksas smiled and nodded, but this is indeed humour that can be appreciated by your entire blended family. Truth, kvetching and the Jewish way in a pithy little volume that makes a fine gift for all the kosher folks on your list. Do not neglect the bagel-and-chopsticks pictures in the bottom right corners.

Summary: Hilarious, Quirky, Fun Book
Review: This is a unique book. I haven't seen another one like it! Japanese imagery is intertwined with Jewish themes to create some highly original humor. It doesn't rely on stereotypes. It parodies old stereotypes and it includes new areas in its haikus. "No fins, no flippers... the gefilte fish swims with...some difficulty" or "Seven-foot Jews in ... the NBA slam-dunking... my alarm clock rings." Some of the poems are downright hilarious. All have a certain fun quality. I have given the book to countless people at this point, all of whom enjoyed it. Almost any intelligent reader will get it and sometimes even laugh out loud.
