Age: Preschool-1st grade
Friendship: Opposites attract
Identity: Yiddish words sprinkled throughout

Gitty is joyous, optimistic, and adventurous. Kvetch reluctantly comes along for the ride. But Kvetch's pessimistic attitude quickly turns around when a rainy day dampens Gitty's spirit. The back-and-forth banter is delightfully juxtaposed without Kvetch ever entering bully territory. Sure, he's annoyed by everyday inconveniences and trying new things, but he still goes along with Gitty because he values their time together.

The seamless integration of yiddish words throughout the book gives it an added boost of delight. I cannot wait for another adventure!
