An excellent introduction to a lesser-known holiday and historical event. Jewish schools and libraries will want to add it, and it is a worthwhile addition for public libraries as needed.
Pass on this uneven effort. The pirate aspect of the story is unnecessary to the plot, and while the Passover information is deployed effectively, it doesn’t make up for the weak scansion and trite rhymes.
Shelve this alongside Freidele Galya Soban Biniashvili’s I Love Matzah, Tracy Newman’s Passover Is Coming!, and Sylvia A. Rouss’s Sammy Spider’s Passover Shapes.
This is a perfect Hanukkah package of colors, counting, and traditions. All libraries serving Jewish patrons will want to add this little gem to their board book collections.
