Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1—A simple story about preparations for Passover. Rhymed couplets hint at the holiday, followed by the repeated phrase "Passover is on its way" and finally "Passover is here!" The story ends when the seder begins, and no explanations of the customs are offered. The digital illustrations are cheerful with soft colors and gentle rounded forms; many elements of Judaica appear throughout, from a tzedakah box on a shelf to a "Shalom" doormat. The family depicted is Jewish but not traditional in dress, with men and boys donning kippot only for the seder. While the overall effect is pleasantly anticipatory and the illustrations are charming, there are several ways in which the story trips up. The art repeatedly fails to match the text: the page describing "a bucket and mop or a long handled broom" shows a broom and a vacuum cleaner, with a mop appearing two pages later. The words "When the sun's getting low and the doorbell stops ringing" are accompanied by images of people approaching the door on a bright day, not yet having rung the bell. This couplet ends with "And everyone's ready for stories and singing" but the family is not ready for these activities, as they are greeting relatives who have not even removed their coats. Worst of all, the book closes with the lines "When the Seder is ready and candles are lit/And Nana's shown everyone just where to sit…/Passover is here!" This text is accompanied by images showing lighted candles at an empty table and a mom bringing in the seder plate. This is incorrect Passover procedure. Those following a hagaddah know that the seder plate should already be on the table and all should be seated before the candles are lighted as the opening act of the seder. VERDICT Despite the book's charms, the inconsistencies in illustration make it hard to recommend.—Heidi Estrin, Congregation B'nai Israel, Boca Raton, FL

Review

"While many other books explain the significance, symbolism, and biblical associations of the seder, this pleasing picture book simply reflects the experiences of young children as their families prepare for Passover."―Booklist



"A joyful and inviting prelude to the weeklong celebration and observance."―Kirkus Reviews



"A gentle, thoughtful tribute to the joys of being observant in both a secular and religious sense."―Publishers Weekly

Ties Passover to springtime. My little guy didn't love it, but I think he'll grow into it. Would be a good choice for a classroom due to the emphasis on the season. It didn't cover the holiday traditions in depth, just mentioned them. If you celebrate Passover, you probably don't need or already have a book that focuses on the what and why anyway. In a multicultural classroom, you'd need to know something about the holiday, but could pick and choose how in depth you wanted to cover any given ritual. I liked the text, and thought the pictures were lovely.
