When five curious young gefilte fish have the chutzpah to sneak out of their jar and set off to explore the world, they are followed by a loud OY VEY! Mama Gefilte isn’t too happy to see her little ones leaving the nest. But she’s taught them well and, at the end of their adventures, each one proves himself a mensch—making Mama one proud gefilte indeed.

Horowitz’s playful rhyming tale and the book's illustrations filled with comic asides will have readers giggling out loud and looking for opportunities to practice their Yiddish—with help from the handy glossary at the end of the book.
