Noshy Boy (Matzah Ball Books! Series)

Matzah Ball Books:The mission of Matzah Ball Books is to foster love for and pride in Yiddish and all things Jewish. Consistent with an upsurge of endeavors to preserve Yiddish culture, Matzah Ball Books was created to give young children access to, understanding of and affinity for Yiddishisms. Written in English, each Matzah Ball book is named for a character with a Yiddish word that describes a central attribute of his or her personality. For example, Shmutzy Girl is always dirty and Kvetchy Boy is always complaining. In each book, the protagonist learns a lesson connected with his or her namesake trait (e.g. Shmutzy Girl learns to accept herself shmutz (dirt) and all, and Kvetchy Boy learns when to complain and when not to do so.) These fun and lively picture books put the joy and color of Yiddish into a form young people adore - and will make any bubbe or zaide kvell (proud). Noshy Boy:Yum, I'm Noshy Boy. I'm always snacking -- before meals, during meals, after meals. When I get to the point that I can barely close my pants, I know it's time for a change. In my book, I learn to make healthier food choices and feel better for it....Children's picture book. Shmutzy Girl, Shluffy Girl, Kvetchy Boy and Klutzy Boy are other books in the series.Asner, Anne-Marie is the author of 'Noshy Boy (Matzah Ball Books!
