Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Each dog appears with a definition of the Yiddish term and appropriate canine dialogue along the same theme. For example: MAZEL TOV (dog wearing a graduation cap) Mazel Tov 1. congratulations, kudos, praise??? After three weeks of obedience school I finally learned to sit and stay. Oy, it was so boring. Sit, come, lay down, roll over. ...and what for, a little piece of dog treat and a pat on the head? ...and a MAZEL TOV from the trainer? Who needs it ???

Synopsis:

Just in time for Santa Schwartz (or Hanukkah Harry) comes Yiddish for Dogs, a hilarious--and educational--book of photographic proof that dogs speak the language. Pairing charming, sometimes edgy, and often downright silly color photographs of dogs with the Yiddish terms they signify, it teaches even as it tickles. Helpful tongue-in-cheek canine monologues accompany each entry. Combining the bestselling seykhl of Yiddish for Dick and Jane with the phenomenal pet-loving enthusiasm of Bad Cat, Yiddish for Dogs is bound to be the gift of the year.
