This book was so hilarious! The moment I started reading it I never wanted to end! The book is pure genius because of the comedy and how you learn about the Jewish Culture!

Mitzvah the Mutt takes place in a small town in modern times. Mr. Rubin, a pet shop owner, originally owned a dog named Mitzvah. When he moved to a new apartment complex they had a rule that no pets were allowed, so he had to give up Mitzvah. The Burger Family adopted Mitzvah, which was ironic because Mitzvah’s favorite food was hamburgers. The book, which is told from Mitzvah’s perspective, is very funny because Mitzvah does not understand some human words. Mitzvah finds it very strange that humans keep saying “woof, woof” to him. Read Mitzvah the Mutt to find about how he had a ball with Matzo balls! This book was an easy read filled with humor and comedy. I would recommend this book to children who like dogs and are curious about what they are thinking. by Max, age 11, Missouri

Mitzvah the Mutt was a hilarious book. The story was told from Mitzvah (a dog’s) point of view. Mitzvah did not understand most of what humans do. The dog thought that matzo balls were simply tennis balls that taste good. It is funny to read other thoughts that Mitzvah has such as his constant thoughts about hamburgers, and his misunderstanding about what Woof-Woof means. Mitzvah the Mutt is a must read, hilarious book. Curious why the dog’s name is Mitzvah? Read the book to find out. by David, age 9, New York
