Description

Long-suffering Chimp tries to talk his friends Ellie the Elephant and Kanga the Kangaroo out of trying to escape from the Biblical Zoo to find a Passover seder to attend, but ends up joining them in the escapade, teaching them about the Passover holiday along the way. And whose house do they turn up at for the seder? Their old friend and zookeeper, Shmulik! Droll Passover story includes lots of funny mistakes when the animals try to remember the words for Passover items and get them all wrong, needing to be corrected by Chimp. Includes back matter about Passover and the Biblical Zoo in Jerusalem.

Critical Reviews

"Weiser's playful digital illustrations have the inventive framings of mid-century art posters, while Moritz's linguistically twisty text leads this earnest but nonsensical Passover tale that may well become the basis for many a holiday in-joke." -- Publishers Weekly

"This book presents an excellent introduction to the Biblical Zoo in Jerusalem, a wonderful place for children of all ages to learn about animals mentioned in the Bible as well as endangered species." -- Rachel Glasser, AJL Newsletter, retired librarian, Yavneh Academy, Teaneck, NJ
