Members Reviews:

I thoroughly enjoyed the book GOLDIE TAKES A STAND

I thoroughly enjoyed the book GOLDIE TAKES A STAND. The story is informational and very interesting. I think it will be good for children to learn about the early life of Golda Meir. I especially liked the illustrations. The costumes of the children are so cute and I loved the expressions of the children's faces. The household decorations remind me of my grandma's house. This is a great book. M. A. Ramgren

This is a charming story about Goldie that will delight young readers ...

Goldie Mabowehz was a nine-year-old girl who was the president of the âAmerican Young Sisters Society.â Of course being self-appointed worked very well for Goldie. Very well indeed and all the other girls clustered around her would probably agree, including her little sister Clara and her best friend Regina. There were problems to be solved and Goldie was just the girl to get things done. The problem was textbooks. âThe kids in our school didnât have enough money to buy them,â she explained to the Sisters.

Many of the kids like Hymie had tattered ones and that annoying Jennie leaned over her desk to peek at Friedaâs. Goldie figured out the math and if all the members could bring in a whole âthree cents a week,â that would do it. Now that was enough to buy either a loaf of bread or a quart of milk so that was a lot! Goldie was going to work in Mamaâs store to get her share and would charge everyone a little extra. Mrs. Garfinkel was none to happy when Goldie asked extra for those eggs. Stomp, stomp! Out the door she went. Not a penny more from her.

Things werenât looking up for the American Young Sisters Society because no one managed to raise that three cents. Goldie put her pointer finger to her chin and began to think. âWeâll hold a public meeting, a fundraising gala,â she told the girls, âand collect from everyone at one time.â They began to make posters, Frieda was going to do the invitations, and Lillian would create a âlist of important people.â Sarah was wondering just where the big event could be held. Goldie was a big thinker, but could she think big enough to get those textbooks?

This is a charming story about Goldie that will delight young readers. Of course Goldie Mabowehz is none other than Golda Meir. Even as a young girl she had great leadership qualities. This fictionalized tale, based on real events, had a great flow and will draw in even the most reluctant readers. Goldieâs generosity and empathy toward others will resonate with the young reader. The artwork, a mix of gouache and collage, had a nice period feel.
