Someone for Mr. Sussman

(3) K-3 In Polacco's inimitable storytelling style, she tells about a modern-day Jewish shadkhen (matchmaker) through the eyes of the woman's grandson. Exaggerated pencil and marker illustrations display Bubbie's outlandish efforts to capture the heart of picky Mr. Sussman. Jewish traditions abound: the kosher home, foods like kugel and challah, and the inevitable Jewish wedding between Bubbie and Mr. Sussman.
