Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - The Peddler's Gift is truly a gift....
This book is even more than just a wonderful tale of morality. It gives a hint of the joy of the ineffable that can hardly be spoken of in words. It can be felt--through the beautiful story, through the illustrations, and through something "between the lines".
Rating: - Award Winner
I'd like to note that The Peddlar's Gift is the winner of the 1999 Sydney Taylor Award in the category of books for younger readers. This is an annual literary prize awarded by the Association of Jewish Libraries for excellence in children's books with strong Jewish content. The award is named after the late Sydney Taylor, the author of the All-of-a-Kind Family books.... Heidi Estrin, Association of Jewish Libraries, South Florida Chapter
