Sec­ond-grad­er Shu­ki is annoyed that his elder­ly Aunt Esther is com­ing to vis­it and he will be forced to give up his bed­room. He com­plains, ​“Old peo­ple are as bad as babies. They need help for every­thing. They don’t even have any teeth! I’m not ever gonna be like that, no sir!” But then Shu­ki has a ter­ri­ble night­mare in which he is an old man with poor vision, no teeth, and wrin­kled skin. It’s his Aunt Esther, now a young woman, who is kind and help­ful. When Shu­ki wakes up, he has a new atti­tude and shows that he now under­stands the mitz­vah of ​“V’Hadarta pney zakeyn,” respect­ing the elder­ly. Orig­i­nal­ly pub­lished in 1986, this new edi­tion fea­tures updat­ed, full-col­or illus­tra­tions that depict a con­tem­po­rary Ortho­dox fam­i­ly. The text is unchanged — still a bit long, didac­tic, and pre­dictable. But fans of Yaf­fa Ganz, and oth­er sim­i­lar Jew­ish val­ues-cen­tered sto­ries, will appre­ci­ate this fresh, new take on an old classic.
