Shmendrick and the Croc

Shmendrick and his friend the Croc travel through the Jewish year, sharing in its joy, searching for its meaning and having small adventures along the way. They always try to do the right thing, but Shmendrick's love of chocolate is sometimes a distraction.

Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg and illustrator Barbara Jackson tell these warm and funny stories, accompanied by the original toy Shmendrick and Croc.
