Book Review
PASSOVER POP-UP BOOK. By Sol Scharfstein. Illustra-
ted by Arthur Friedman. KTAV Publishing House, 1986.
$5.95. Suggested for ages 5-9.
This book, which tells the story of Passover, is special because it
uses bright pictures and fun pop-ups. It is part of a series of other
holiday pop-up books, including the Shabbat Pop-Up Book and
the Hanukah Pop-Up Book. This is not a book beginning readers
can read to themselves, but a book they will really enjoy!
ASK ANOTHER QUESTION - THE STORY AND MEAN
ING OF PASSOVER. By Miriam Chaikin. Illustrated by
Marvin Friedman. Clarion Books, 1985. $13.95. Ages 8-12.
This non-fiction book tells everything about Passover, including
the Bible story, how the holiday developed, and how the holiday is
celebrated today. A very interesting chapter is “Passover Around
The World”, which describes how Passover is celebrated in places
like Portugal, Ethiopia, the Soviet Union, and other countries. It’s
an interesting book that older elementary-age readers will ap
preciate.
I LOVE PASSOVER. Written and illustrated by Marilyn
Hirsh. Holiday House, 1985. $11.95. Ages 3-8.
This is a book for beginning readers to read to themselves. It is
written by one of the best writers for Jewish children. (She wrote
The Rabbi and the Twenty-Nine Witches and Could Anything
Be Worse?) But this is not one of her best books. It is the usual
story of the family at the Passover seder. Younger children can learn
the Passover story from it.
