CM . . . . Volume III Number 13 . . . . February 28, 1997 Jacob Two-Two's First Spy Case. Mordecai Richler. Illustrated by Norman Eyolfson. Toronto, ON: Penguin Books Canada, 1996. 138 pp., paper, $5.99. ISBN 0-14-034609-0. Grades 3 - 7 / Ages 8 - 12. Review by Deborah Mervold. excerpt: Jacob Two-Two considered his father a pal. After he had finished work, he often took Jacob Two-Two out for a walk. The next afternoon, in fact, they wandered as far as his father's old neighborhood, which Noah had once described as DADDY'S HARD TIMES TOUR, a trip each child in the family had to endure at least once, obliged only to say "oooh" or "aaah" at the right moments. Now Jacob Two-Two told his father that in the week since the dreaded Mr. I. M. Greedyguts had been appointed headmaster of Privilege House, the lunches they had to eat were either tasteless, horrible, or downright disgusting, and sometimes all three, and he went on to describe a few. "Aw," said Jacob Two-Two's father, "you only feel that way because your mother cooks such delicious meals for us. It can't be that bad." "Ah, but it is," said Jacob Two-Two. "It is."

23. Son Of A Smaller Hero Review of the book. http://www.umanitoba.ca/cm/cmarchive/vol18no2/sonsmallhero.html

SON OF A SMALLER HERO Mordecai Richler. 207pp., paper, $5.95. ISBN 0-7710-9970-3. CIP. Subject Heading: Jews-Quebec (Province)-Montréal-Fiction. Grades 10 and up / Ages 15 and up Reviewed by Clare A. Darby. Volume 18 Number 2 1990 March Son of a Smaller Hero examines the tensions of growing up in a Jewish milieux in the early 1950s. Noah Alder's struggle to escape family and cultural ties has universal implications. Rejecting his grandfather's traditional ways, his father's self-delusions, his mother's not-so-subtle attempts to hold on to him, Noah tries unsuccessfully to enter the larger, non-Jewish world. Son of a Smaller Hero is an interesting, if not suspenseful, narrative, peopled with a cast of realistic and cardboard characters. It should be part of any high school collection but perhaps not in this edition. This edition has very small print and such narrow margins that I had to break the binding to see the words in the centre. Recommended with the above reservations. Clare A.

It is also an extraordinary love story that lasted half a century. The first major biography with access to family letters and archives. Mordecai Richler was an outsized and outrageous novelist whose life reads like fiction. Mordecai Richler won multiple Governor General's Literary Awards, the Giller Prize, the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, among others, as well as many awards for his children's books. He also wrote Oscar-nominated screenplays. His influence was larger than life in Canada and abroad. In Mordecai , award-winning novelist and journalist Charlie Foran brings to the page the richness of Mordecai's life as young bohemian, irreverent writer, passionate and controversial Canadian, loyal friend and deeply romantic lover. He explores Mordecai's distraught childhood, and gives us the "portrait of a marriage" — the lifelong love affair with Florence, with Mordecai as beloved father of five. The portrait is alive and intimate — warts and all.

34. Jacob Two-Two And The Dinosaur Review of the book. http://www.umanitoba.ca/cm/cmarchive/vol15no5/jacobtwotwodinosaur.html

JACOB TWO-TWO AND THE DINOSAUR Mordecai Richter. Illustrated by Norman Eyolfson. 85pp., cloth, $14.95. ISBN 0-7710-7484-0. CIP. Subject Heading: Dinosaurs-Fiction. Grades 4-6 / Ages 9-11 Reviewed by Adele M. Fasick. Volume 15 Number 5 1987 September Dippy, as the lizard is named, grows with extraordinary rapidity and soon becomes the terror of cottage country. Like many other gentle giants in children's books, he is forced to flee from the violent forces of adult society. Richter has fun satirizing Prime Minister Perry Pleaser who yearns to win friends and votes by becoming a giant killer, and the government's chief scientific adviser Professor Wacko Kilowatt whose greatest contribution to knowledge is the discrovery that January is colder than July. Many of Richler's jokes are aimed not at children but at the adults who will read this book aloud. The story moves along at a lively pace and has an irreverent tone which will appeal to fans of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Bantam, 1986). It is not a great contribution to children's literature but it has received wide media attention and will be in demand in many libraries.
