BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Every year at Passover seder the youngest person who is able asks The Four Questions.  This year Marcy gets to ask them for the first time. But Marcy has so many questions and she doesn’t realize that there really are four specific questions she is supposed to ask.  After some gentle teasing, her family answers her original questions and then, with her brother’s help, she asks the real Four Questions.

Any elementary school could easily add this to their religion section.  It is both a nicely packaged look at seder, and a gentle look at getting over embarrassment.
