Customer Reviews

appearance = 3, text= 5

I feel somewhat uncomfortable looking at this book because the illustrations appear cluttered.However, this book is extremely valuable to a teacher of English as a foreign language. The text is written in a simple pattern. On each page, we see "Her [noun]." This renders the book useful as an example of possessive pronouns...

For every family's mouse

What child has never gone into her parent's candy cupboard and snitched a few bites of a special treat before it was time? This is the story of just such a "mouse." For several weeks before Pessach, Sarah managed to ignore the labels on the boxes of special Passover goodies that her mother had labeled just for her benefit--"For Passover. Do Not Touch." But at last, the sign and the boxes were too much for her, and she took the long skinny box of after-dinner mints, and next broke off a piece of chocolate covered matzoh. She had eaten all but one piece.The seder was very fine that year, but when the time came to open the door to welcome Elijah the prophet, Sarah's father asked the children to search for their Afikomen, they found it, and were rewarded with books. Finally it was time for treats.The last eight pages of this fine 29-page story reveal a secret about Sarah and her family that every Matzoh Mouse needs to hear. Alyssa A. Lappen
