What the critics say
"The unfolding plot keeps youngsters engaged in the mystery surrounding the outing: where is grandma going? What are those men carrying in those funny shaped cases? As the grandson walks, he spies and seeks clues....not to be missed by readers ages 4-9." (Jewish Book Council)
"This fictional account of the first performance by what was to become the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO), in December 1936, features presumably Hebrew-speaking Uri and his German speaking grandmother. She plucks Uri from a day of boredom and leads him through Tel-Aviv with an undisclosed destination.... The story is sure to inspire further exploration of this momentous event and fascinating history of the IPO." (Association of Jewish Libraries)
