A happy, human, satisfying story of five little girls who live with their parents in a four-room flat on New York's lower East Side. They are an all-of-a-kind family, but each is so different, too! And what good times they have together.

There isn't much money in this family, but there is a great deal of everything that makes childhood really happy: companionship, books, outings, games, friends—and understanding and loving parents.

Mama has her hands full with her five lively girls, and it doesn't help at all when Sarah and Ella come down with scarlet fever during the holidays, or when Henny gets lost at Coney Island! But Mama's love and patience never fail her—or the children.

A warm, sincere, inviting tale, enlivened by touches of real humor, ALL-OF-A-KIND-FAMILY is a story children take to their hearts. The book is about children and for children—and for the young in heart of all ages.
