A collection of riddles relating to the historical background of Passover and the way this day is celebrated.

Wally Raccoon worries about making his first trip to school alone as he examines all the possible pitfalls.

Except for a big error near the beginning, a not unreasonable book to review the rituals and story of Passover. Photographs of people get dated faster than drawings do. Rhyming riddles, several lines long, teach about the holiday; the answers on the following page have additional comments.

I won't complain that the book lacks genius, but what's with this sentence: "When the Egyptian king wouldn't free the Jews, God had the Jews mark their doors with blood from a roasted lamb before sending ten plagues as punishment." No, blood on the doorposts was done before the ninth plague and after the first eight. I always wonder if this sort of mistake is from the editor "fixing" things or the author.½
