“This is a book that begs to be read aloud.” —School Library Journal

“Jill Pinkwater's bright, freestyle drawings are as bighearted and chatty as the multilingual, multispecies text.” —Publishers Weekly

“The Pinkwaters have crafted a tale of friendship and caring, this time with a festive holiday touch . . . A Hanukkah gift for readers and eaters.” —Kirkus Reviews

“It's classic Pinkwater: funny, weird, touching, and all about the joys of being sideways to reality...Daniel Pinkwater is a genius.” —Cory Doctorow on Beautiful Yetta

“Fresh and nostalgic, the story is told in three languages--English, Yiddish (Yetta's native tongue, so to speak) and Spanish (those real-life Brooklyn parrots had to come from somewhere). Pluck is really the name of the game.” —The San Francisco Chronicle on Beautiful Yetta

“An irreverent picture book that ingeniously combines three languages…Part immigrant story, part language lesson, and consistently fun, the Pinkwaters' newest tale reminds children that if you are confident in who you are and where you come from, friends will never be far away.” —Jewish Journal of Los Angeles on Beautiful Yetta
