Summary: heart and soul
Comment: Miz Berlin Walks is a favorite of mine and my tender-hearted young son, who, it seems, will never tire of reading this story and running his hands across the gorgeous illustrations that Floyd Cooper created to accompany it. Jane Yolen proves here once again that she is a writer who can engage children in stories that are not full of dancing bears and obvious lessons. What I appreciate so much about the way that Yolen approaches stories for young children is that she does not talk down to kids, nor does she assume that they see the world through rose-colored glasses. This story, in particular, deals with death and loss, and is sure to snag your voice up at the end when you read it out loud, but Yolen accomplishes a tender framework that makes the pain so very worthwhile. In addition, the book has a subtext that presents loving friendship between two people of different generatons and races -- what a lovely gift of perspective to give to your child!

Summary: Enjoyable for all generations
Comment: An evening stroll engenders an unexpected friendship between an elderly woman, and a young girl. The elderly lady (Miz Berlin) recounts her childhood through beautifully creative stories which capture the imagination of the young girl and further ignites her curiosity about her elderly friend. The book's soft and poignant illustrations reveal the innocent spirit of the young girl's imaginings and gently draws the reader into the fantasy.
I think adults and children - young girls especially - will enjoy reading Miz Berlin Walks. It is a tender, touching story that should be shared amongst all generations.
