What the Book Is About
When Pinky starts a pet-sitting business, her first charge is her best friend Lucy’s guinea pig, Mei-Mei. After Mei-Mei goes missing at a pet show, Pinky and her younger brother, Avi, get themselves into trouble investigating the peculiar actions of a pet store employee. On top of everything, something is keeping Dad’s brand-new shofar from making any sound – what could it be? With cute illustrations, this is a quick and easy read that will appeal to Pinky’s fans and newcomers too.
Jewish Content & Values
- Pinky’s family celebrates Shabbat, and her father practices to be the shofar blower at synagogue on Rosh Hashanah.
- Dad buys the shofar at a Judaica shop selling items such as Kiddush cups, menorahs, and yarmulkes/kippahs.
- There’s a missing antique pocket watch with Hebrew letters on it.
- Avi’s pet roaches are named Mazel and Tov; Grandma’s dog is Bubeleh; their grandmother sprinkles Yiddish words into conversation.
Content Advisory
The pet store employee (who is running an illegal exotic pets business) kidnaps Pinky, Avi, and their friend Madame Olga and locks them in a room with a poisonous Gila monster, but the police arrive quickly and release them. All is handled with a light touch and some humor.
