Goodreads

This rhyming holiday book is sure to please Jewish families with preschool age children.  Families who follow other religious traditions will appreciate this enchanting story that offers an introductory fictional  tale about Passover.  Librarians and parents will enjoy reading the text aloud, there are many tongue twisting sentences that will tickle the funny bone of young listeners.  In spite of her shivers and shakes Pippa approaches less than friendly animals to help her find the special Passover Plate.  A little fright adds to the storyline making the book more fun than most holiday books.

The illustrations add charm, each page has several small surprises with lots of detail.  Preschoolers and K students will love to search for all the animals; some of which stand out using color while others almost melt into the environment.  Add this new Passover book to public library collections and gift to early education programs and K classrooms.
