Basley, Tilda Lotsa Matzah.  Illustrated by Akemi Gutierrez. BOARD BOOK. This rhyming board book details the origin of matzah as well as all the modern uses and variations of eating it. The religious story of Moses and his exodus from Pharaoh’s cruelty is shared.  In their hurry to get away from bondage they left without allowing their bread to rise.

This book introduces young children to Jewish life and how matzah is a critical part of their religion and culture.  Pre-K.  OPTIONAL. Reviewer: SL.
