Great book!!!

I loved this book!
This was a very good book that you can read over and over again. It’s about Hershel who is vert smart and barely gets by that way. If you have read, “While standing on one foot,” or, “ Rabbi Harvey,” then you might already know some of the short stories but many are new and they’re still good. I definitely recommend it to you!!!

Oy vey! Hershel is at it again with these clever tricks and schemes. Though he is poor, he always finds a way to feed his family well with his wits. As he says, "It's no disgrace to be poor but it's no great honor either."

Hershel had some very clever ideas but some were a bit cruel in my opinion. My favorite part was when he got his Uncle Zalman to do a good deed.

This book was really cool. Anyone that loves the books about Rabbi Harvey will surely love this, too. It is a little different than Rabbi Harvey, because it is not written in comic strips, but it is still a great book.

This book contains ten amusing stories about Hershel. I would read this book it you like short Jewish folktales.
This book was pretty good, but not the best
Submitted 10/5/2018 by AlienInvasion
This book was pretty good. It was too short, though, and some of the stories weren’t so good. However, overall it’s a good book. If you like the rabbi Harvey books, then you might like this book, although one of the stories from this book is almost the same as a story from rabbi Harvey. If you’re thinking “I like rabbi Harvey, so I’ll get this book” you might be abut disappointed. This book was good, I guess, but I’ve read better.
Short and sweet!
