From Publishers Weekly
Offering both an authoritative guide and a well-crafted story, Goldin ( Just Enough Is Plenty ; Cakes and Miracles ) thoughtfully and elegantly explains the traditions of Passover. She sets the stage by recounting Moses and the Israelites' journey out of Egypt, then takes readers step by step through the 14 sections of the seder, the ritual meal that begins the holiday. In an invitingly conversational style, Goldin outlines the historic and symbolic significance of the different rituals and foods, emphasizes the importance of remembrance (she describes the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, which erupted during Passover in 1943, and suggests that Holocaust survivors and Soviet emigres be invited to share their memories) and discusses ways of personalizing the seder. Sidebars highlight related topics, from ancient Baghdad customs to the omission of Moses from the Haggadah, the Passover prayerbook. Waldman's ( The Ty ger ) radiant watercolors underscore the changing moods of the text, with earthy browns and reds dominating the illustrations of the Exodus, and dusky purples and twilight blues suffusing the pages devoted to specific elements of the seder. All ages.

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-Goldin tells the story of the Exodus and explains the traditions of the Passover Seder. She has integrated midrashim (invented tales used to explain certain occurrences and phenomena) into her retelling of the Biblical account. The result is an enriched interpretation of the Passover story, incorporating history and folklore. In describing how Jews today can relive the Exodus experience, she is insightful and inventive. Her writing is graceful- simple, but eloquent. The beautifully designed book showcases Waldman's mastery of the art of watercolor. The pages are suffused in a graded wash of color, some beginning with a peach blush that fades to lighter tones like a sunset; others are awash in pastel blue and aqua, punctuated with fuschia and earth tones. Varied stylized borders and two-dimensional perspectives reflect the influence of Egyptian art. This resonant text can be used as a haggadah or as a companion to it, or as an introduction to Passover.
