Modern Passover

We love all of Emily Sper's books and hope that she'll be coming out with some new products soon. It's hard to find quality books that engage our children Jewishly in a modern world. Emily Sper remains true to the Jewish tradition and her books are appealing and engaging to both child and parent. Our preschool owns several copies of her books. Her books encourage children to engage and interact with her books in a multi-sensory approach. Her Passover book has beautiful graphics and the children are active learners in the process. The book mimicks what the best of Passover seders try to do-- engage their participants in learning about their history and heritage. It's a wonderful gift and learning tool and it will help your preschool age child become an active and excited participant in your Passover Seder.

Fantistic Passover book for children!

I loved this book, both as a parent and religious school teacher. The pictures are creative, clear and engaging. The text is a delightful telling of the Passover story. A great gift for children old enough to read themselves as well as a wonderful book children will want you to read to them. I highly recommend this book!

Another winner!

Emily Sper has created another wonderful children's book! Just like her Hannukah counting book, The Passover Seder is an educational and engaging experience for children. The tactile sensations provide a new twist to the old story of the Jews' exodus from Egypt. Bright illustrations help make for a great Passover book overall.

Fun, engaging, colorful!

Sper's book is a delight. The Passover story is told with lots of opportunities for kids to interact: finding the hidden afikoman, helping the Jewish people cross the Red Sea, feeling the karpas, opening the door for Elijah, for example. The illustrations are simple and bright, and the text is engaging. The perfect gift for a child!

Brilliant!! Innovative!!

This is not just a children's Passover book, it is a sensory experience. The bright beautiful illustrations are a visual feast, and are accompanied by a variety of hands-on activities to keep a child fully engaged while he or she learns about a traditional seder and the story of Passover. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a Passover experience.
