Reseñas de la Crítica

"Great Uncle Harry is terrible at hiding the afikomen. All the kids anticipate his usual hiding places, and so the search isn’t very fun. But young Rachel hatches a clever plan and offers him the option to let her hide the matzo this year. She then creates a family scavenger hunt containing a variety of rhyming clues. With each solved riddle, the other children get a part of a puzzle that, when pieced together, contains the biggest clue about where the afikomen is hidden. Information regarding the symbols on the seder plate is included within the clues, and even Uncle Harry is in on the merriment by the end. A fun game that could become a future family tradition." (Jewish Journal)

"Rachel’s Great-Uncle Harry usually hides the afikomen - a piece of matzah broken in half and placed in a napkin, then hidden for kids to find - at her family’s Passover Seder. But this year, she decides she will hide it. She adds a twist - a scavenger hunt. Each of the clues she creates contains a riddle relating to the holiday; when each riddle is solved, she hands out a puzzle piece. The first clue reads 'Karpas is parsley, fresh and green./Find Clue Number Two/Where green is the scene.' Her relatives search for the clues, until they find the sixth one and can assemble the puzzle pieces, which form a Seder plate...." (The Washington Post)

"Silva makes her children’s book debut with the warmhearted story of a family’s Passover seder, during which one of the young cousins, Rachel, gets fed up with how bad her Great-Uncle Harry is at hiding the afikomen. Taking the initiative, Rachel organizes a scavenger hunt for her cousins, featuring rhyming clues built around the ingredients on a seder plate ('The shankbone reminds us/ of when the Jews fled./ Find Clue Number Four/ Where Frank rests his head').... It’s a no-stress, no-conflict portrait of a Passover celebration that emphasizes ingenuity and the creation of new traditions to accompany the old." (Publishers Weekly)
