ReviewsWhen this Jewish Little Red Hen decides it is time to get ready for Passover, her first thought is to make the traditional matzah. Gathering a small pile of grain she kept safe from water and wind, she approaches her friends and receives the typical rude, if somewhat altered, responses. S Not I ", said Sheep. Sorry, bub, " said Horse. Think again, " said Dog. Little Red Hen resigns herself to going it alone, but she is a classic kvetcher: SI should live so long, to see this bunch of lazy no-goodniks put in an honest day "s work. Meisel "s accompanying cartoons, done in ink, watercolor and pastels, add exactly the right touch of humor to this holiday version of a classic folktale, which is filled with enough Yiddishisms to make every Bubbe act out the reading in old-world style. In accordance with the Passover tradition to welcome all who are hungry to the seder table, the three non-helpers are invited in "and they redeem themselves with some dishwashing, while the Little Red Hen enjoys a relaxing moment. (author "s note, recipe, glossary) (Picture book. 3-6), The Little Red Hen has gone through various versions and permutations, but surely this is the first time she has a Yiddish accent. Realizing it "s almost Passover, the Little Red Hen says, SOy gevalt! She needs matzah for her seder dinner, and that means growing wheat. Horse, Sheep, and Dog are not interested in helping. Harvesting? Again, nope. Milling? SWe "re resting. By now, the Little Red Hen realizes she "s dealing with a bunch of no-goodniks. She bakes the matzah ( Saccording to Jewish law . . . in just eighteen minutes ) and then sets her seder table. Guess who arrives? SWhat chutzpah! But then the Little Red Hen remembers the Haggadah "s words: SLet all who are hungry come and eat. Children familiar with Passover will get a kick out of this, and the ink-and-watercolor art amusingly captures both the Little Red Hen "s aggravation and the animals " turnaround. Those really in the know might wonder about a sheep at a holiday table where lamb "s blood plays a major role, but, hey, at least none of the guests are pigs., The droll ink, watercolor, and pastel cartoon illustrations have a friendly charm that makes a nice contrast with the story's wry humor., When this Jewish Little Red Hen decides it is time to get ready for Passover, her first thought is to make the traditional matzah.

So she decides to plant some grain. But when she asks her friends to help, they're too busy for her. "Sorry, bub," says the Horse. "Think again," barks the dog. Oy gevalt "Friends, shmends," she says. "I'll just do it myself." But when the wheat is grown and harvested, when the flour is milled and the matzah baked and the Seder table set-- all by Red on her own--who should come to her door but her not-so-helpful friends? Though she's tempted to turn them away, Little Red is a mensch -- and a mensch forgives. Like her Haggadah says: Let all who are hungry come and eat. But who will do all these dishes?

Bright cartoon illustrations add humor and detail to the story. Backmatter includes a glossary of Yiddish phrases, an author's note about the holiday, and a recipe for making your own Passover matzah., A classic tale gets a Jewish twist, when Little Red Hen asks her friends for help making Passover matzah.
