{"product_id":"the-memory-coat-9780590677172","title":"The Memory Coat","description":"This moving story of a Jewish family's immigration to American from Russia may be jeopardized by a young cousin's bond with a worn-out coat.At the turn-of-the century, a Jewish family must leave Russia when the Cossacks raid the country. Grandma Bubba tries to convince Grisha, her grandson, to leave behind an old coat that might prevent him from being accepted at Ellis Island upon the family's arrival in America. Grisha refuses since the coat is lined with wool from the coat of his deceased mother. The family begins their transatlantic journey, but when they arrive at Ellis Island, Grisha is threatened with deportation until his cousin Rachel comes up with a plan to save him. Woodruff's historical detail is based on research she discovered at the Ellis Island museum.A fine introduction to European immigration for young readers ages four to eight. A moving example of familial love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scholastic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780590677172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.36h x 10.15w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/18\/1999 pg. 339\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1999 pg. 892\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1999 pg. 73\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/1999 pg. 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1999 pg. 287 - Marginal, Seriously Flawed\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/1999 pg. 287 - Marginal, Seriously Flawed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e46333 \/ Memory Coat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.8 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Elvira Woodruff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42924877021365,"sku":"9780590677172","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9c80546c-5ecc-43bc-b9bb-b95b4023a037.jpg?v=1687840395","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-memory-coat-9780590677172","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
