The Carp in the Bathtub by Barbara Cohen

Heartwarming but never sappy, this pairs nicely with Barbara Cohen and Joan Halpern’s classic, The Carp in the Bathtub. Set in a small apartment in New York City in the early twentieth. Small details enhance the story: black-and-white photos of relatives from the old country Shirley’s modern marketing ideas (which include a rotating conveyor belt) a Time magazine cover from 1932 and the ever-present family cat, who inserts himself into every activity. Sharon and Ezra's younger brother, Bernie, loved The Carp in the Bathtub by Barbara Cohen. The digitally enhanced pencil drawings suggest a big city and Depression-era setting and feature blues, grays, and browns prominently. Cohen’s slyly comical tale drives home the point that even small people can have good ideas. Shirley is quick to implement several of her new business ideas, which include gifting every shopper with a free sample of fish. One day all the grownups are called away from the shop, leaving Shirley and a snoring Mrs.

Unfortunately, none of their customers are familiar with this delicacy, so they aren’t buying. When the opportunity arises, Shirley, the daughter of immigrants who live above their corner grocery store, turns some overlooked gefilte fish into a marketing strategy that changes the flavor of the neighborhood.īooklist - Shirley’s extended, immigrant family runs a small grocery store where they sell canned goods, produce, and homemade specialty items such as gefilte fish. ill., 28 cmįamily-owned business enterprises - Fiction OL646051W Page-progression lr Page_number_confidence 86.54 Pages 54 Ppi 500 Related-external-id urn:isbn:0688516270
