PreS-Gr 3–No leavening agent needed—this picture book rises to the occasion of matching the success and heart of its predecessor, Challah Day! Offsay and Kirschner team up again, this time to tell the story of a Jewish family making matzah, an unleavened bread traditionally baked for Passover. Rhyming, family-centered text as well as whimsical and cartoony illustrations focus on the family’s antics while making and eating the matzah. Back matter includes recipes and an informative explanation of the food’s importance to Jewish traditions.
VERDICT This delightful tale is a solid addition to library collections.
