Product Description
From the innovative creator of Hanukkah: A Counting Book in English, Hebrew, and Yiddish comes The Passover Seder. There's no other book like this in the marketplace! Along with a simple retelling of the Passover story, this novelty book takes readers through a hands-on seder experience. Open a Hagaddah; turn a seder plate to match symbolic foods; lift the napkin and "break" the middle matzah; touch matzah, parsley and a pillow; pour drops of wine to symbolize the ten plagues; help the Jews cross the Red Sea; search for the hidden afikomen; and open the door to welcome Elijah the Prophet.
Reader ReviewsSper's book is a delight. The Passover story is told with lots of opportunities for kids to interact: finding the hidden afikoman, helping the Jewish people cross the Red Sea, feeling the karpas, opening the door for Elijah, for example. The illustrations are simple and bright, and the text is engaging. The perfect gift for a child!
