BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
When 3 children slip under the table at the seder meal they find themselves in ancient Egypt. The girls put baby Moses in a basket and send him down the river, they follow the basket to make sure he gets safely to Pharoah's daughter; they encounter Egyptian children and a crocodile but eventually the baby arrives safe and sound. Will they get back home safely themselves?
This wordless Passover story includes an author's note telling about the afikomen and the customs surrounding it. A young child would need some background knowledge to understand what they are seeing in the pictures. The characters are Jewish.
