TAKE A LOOK AT PJ OUR WAY'S CHOICES FOR FEBRUARY! 

This month, your child can read about a girl who's getting used to a crowded home during WWII or discover how a 9-year-old stowaway survives on the streets of New York City.  A comic book retelling of the story of Purim and a graphic novel following the adventures of Rabbi Harvey are both sure to delight kids looking for a humorous read.
