good book. good story but very short
Penina, her little sister, Mimsy, and Penina's best friend, Zozo, all learn new traditions for Hanukkah! But what happened to Zozo and Penina's teacher, Miss Brown? Can Mimsy stop annoying Penina? Her grandmother insulted her!! Can Penina just have Hanukkah in peace? Follow Penina and her adventures through all 8 days of Hanukkah! by Samantha, URJ Crane Lake Camp
It is one of our favorites! It is about a girl named Penina Levine who has a really annoying 4 year-old sister named Mimsy. Mimsy yells a lot. She also embarrasses Penina. This story is set on Hanukkah, a Jewish holiday. Every night Penina and Mimsy fight about something different. Penina has a best friend named Zozo. They do everything together. But Penina is a little jealous of Zozo because she doesn't have a little sister. They also have a teacher named Mrs. Brown. She has short hair and she has a big smile. She teaches the children in Penina and Zozo's class while staying kind. During the book you will hear a little bit more about Hanukkah and how Penina elaborates it. We LOVE this book and you should all read it!!! by Hannah, Meri and Emily URJ Crane Lake Camp
When I saw this book, I thought it wouldn't be that great a book. But boy was I wrong! This book gave a glimpse of life with a younger sibling. It really made me love Penina, smile when Zozo was mentioned because of how great the author described them. I recommend this book to people who want a book of family and friendship.
I love this book!!! It's really good (even though Penina can be really snotty). I'm not trying to make her sound bad she's a really sweet girl (when she's not yelling that is :) . However, most of the time I get where she's coming from.
