Leibush loves when Shnook the peddler arrives in Korovenko. Unfortunately, the boys laugh at him more than with him. When Leibush spies a dreidel that Shnook was selling accidently left in their kitchen, he decides to "borrow" it. Overcome with guilt, he finds Shnook to return and learns some life lessons.
The illustrations allow the reader to peek into Jewish Russian history and culture.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
