Meet the Matzah
Book description
From the creator of Meet the Latkes comes the zaniest retelling of the Passover story starring an earnest matzah and his bready friends!
What makes this Passover different from all other Passovers?
Meet Alfie Koman. He's a matzah who really likes to hide. But Alfie also has a great story…
Why read it?
1 author picked Meet the Matzah as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because it’s full of puns, and the humorous character names reflect the cultures of the various forms of bread they represent. There’s Alfie Koman (a matzah who likes to hide), Mrs. Crust, and classmates Challah Looyah, Naan-cy, Cornelius Tortilla, Burnie Toast, and Loaf Sourdough.
Alfie tries to tell the story of Passover, but Loaf butts in and says that Pha-Roach (not Pharoah) enslaved the Hebrews and a superhero named Mighty Moses brings 10 plagues (including No Wi-fi and Indoor Recess Forever–horrors!)
I cheer when Alfie finally yells, "Let my story go!" and tells the real history.…
