Rob Costello, a fishmonger, must be hearing things, because he swears a fish is speaking to him. Furthermore, itâs speaking Yiddishâand Rob doesnât even speak Yiddish. Oy vey! Although Mr. Lipshitz, Robâs boss, is skeptical at first, he eventually hears the fish speak, too. âIt sounds like my aunt Louise!â he says. When the mysterious fish seeks refuge back in the fish barrel and Rob and Mr. Lipshitz try to find him again, it looks as though they might have to set their entire catch free. After all, a Yiddish fish doesnât come around every day.

Children are sure to love reading and speculating about this modern-day miracle. The Yiddish Fish will definitely get people talkingâand maybe even a fish or two!
