"A cozy tale of friendship, mutual aid, neighborliness, and tasty, tasty food." --Kirkus Reviews Bank Street College "Best Children's Books of the Year," 2023 Edition
Mr. Mintz is famous in his neighborhood for cooking up cheesy, gooey, and delicious blintzes. Each spring he shares them with his friends to celebrate to celebrate the holiday of Shavuot. But when he hurts his leg in a skateboarding accident and is unable to cook, what will become of the blintzes?
Join in as Mr. Mintz's neighbors collaborate to return the kindnesses he has so generously distributed to them over the years.
An author's note for families includes a short explanation of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot.
"Mr. Mintz is the best of neighbors, and everybody loves the blintzes he makes for his friends for Shavuot, so when he is injured in an accident his neighbors step in to take care of him, and cook the blintzes for him."--
