My Pet died (Let's Make A Book About It)
As a parent of a 5 year old, I found this book to be an excellent tool for both my daughter and myself. When our dog died, the book gave my daughter an outlet for her feelings; ie. the book offered open-ended questions and she could draw pictures in response to the questions. Her work in the book reassured me that her grief was taking a natural course, easing my own "parent pain" for my daughter. I highly recommend this book for preschoolers and up.

This book helped me get all my feelings out when my dog died
Parents, you should buy this book if your pet or your children's pet dies because it will help your child get all his or her feelings out. If you (the child) do not want to share it with anyone, you don't have to - you can just keep it to yourself. The book is organized like a journal where you answer different questions on different pages about your feelings. You don't have to write it all at once; in fact, the book encourages you to come back and answer some questions later on. You can also paste pictures of your pet in the book or draw pictures of it or try to express how you are feeling in a drawing. by Robin Berger, age 11

Well researched
I much enjoyed this book. It is well-researched and argues its case equally well. The author points out how so many of the halakhic decisions were originally made to protect women from aggressive males within the patriarchal system of those times. It ends, however, with the cry for those rulings to be reconsidered in light of the "fact" that women no longer need or want to be protected.

Seeing Women's Issues from all sides
Ms. Biale's book, not only explains relevent laws and how they effect Jewish women (marriage, divorce, abortion, niddah)... she also takes the time to cite the teachings of the great Rabbis, allowing all sides- from right to middle to left- to be heard. This presentation is a fascinating read and allows you to consider all of the evidence and create your own, informed opinions.
