Rifka Takes a Bow by Betty Perlov-OPTIONAL



Perlov, Betty Rosenberg, Rifka Takes a Bow. Pgs. 24. Kar-Ben Publishing, 2013. $17.95. PICTURE BOOK.

Rifka’s parents are actors that act in the Yiddish Theater in New York. She loves watching them perform and helping them get ready each night. Then, one day she gets an unexpected chance to perform as well Will she shine?  The illustrations have good contrast and seem befitting of the time period the author is trying to establish. The story is long, but will appeal to those interested in theater setting books. Recommended for larger libraries or libraries for whom this book fits their community’s needs. EL (K-3). OPTIONAL. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI Public Library.
