Finally, the big day arrives, and Mama and the girls leave for America to reunite with Papa. What will it be like to travel on a train and a ship? And what will happen when at last they see Papa? A delightful evocation of Jewish life in the “old world,” A Papa Like Everyone Else is the perfect companion to the seminal All-Of-A-Kind Family books.
