Sydney Taylor grew up among immigrant families on New York City's Lower East Side prior to World War I and wrote the All-of-a-Kind Family series for her daughter. This sequel finds talented Ella, mischievous Henny, studious Sarah, dreamy Charlotte, and little Gertie helping Mama with their new baby brother, Charlie. Sydney Taylor's charming books capture the everyday life of a home with little money but lots of love and good times to share.©1972 Sydney Taylor (P)2001 Listen & Live Audio, Inc.

Critic reviews

"Suzanne Toren skillfully portrays the immigrant parents' accents, the chirpy children, and even sings a beautiful ballad.... Everyone will enjoy and benefit from meeting the All-of-a-Kind Family." (AudioFile)

"Suzanne Toren's nuanced reading brings the characters to life. She perfectly captures the voices of the young sisters, and her rendition of the immigrant accents of New York keeps the reading lively.... Children will find themselves captivated." (School Library Journal)

This series shares many sweet examples of selflessness and giving that children teach us. It also shows how love at home is nurtured in homes of faith and family commitment. I also love the illustration of Jewish traditions. Such a delightful story!

Beautiful family love

I love this series!! The narrator does a tremendous job portraying each character. The author gives us a realistic view of life for this Jewish family as they grow up in NYC. I enjoy it as much as I enjoyed reading it years ago. Cant wait to listen to the next one!

All of a kind fun

ALL-OF-A-KIND FAMILY DOWNTOWN, the second in Sydney Taylor’s five part series has the sisters enjoying their baby brother. Most of the five girls experience growing pains, make mistakes and learn important life lessons. They befriend Guido, a boy with a sick mom who doesn’t have enough to eat and help him when his mother is hospitalized.

I read this out of order, but each book can be read as a stand-alone story.

Delightful
