The adventures of a brave, big-hearted underdog and the close-knit, working-class family that adopts him in 1930s New York City.
After being adopted by Berl the sewing machine operator, Labzik the pup has everything he needs--food and water, a little bed to sleep in, and a caring family. But Labzik wants to do something--to work hard, help his humans, and make the world a better place. Join Labzik as he sniffs out trouble, stands up to bullies, and learns important lessons about the struggle for equality.
A long-lost Yiddish classic at last made fully available in English, Miriam Udel's lively translation of Chaver Paver's Labzik features the original illustrations by Louis Bunin, new artwork by Ryan Bradburn, and an afterword and glossary to help guide readers. Filled with humor and heart, these twelve tales tackle themes of injustice that still resonate today, offering kids and grown-ups alike a lovable, woofing-class hero for our times.
