Book Review: 'The Four Questions' illustrated by Ori Sherman

✰✰✰✰½ When families gather together to celebrate the Passover holiday, the Four Questions are asked at the beginning of the Seder. In this picture book, the Four Questions are illustrated in stunning beauty with bright bold colors. What’s more, when you turn this book upside down, you will see split frame images with Hebrew calligraphy on the same page. What a wonderful way to uncover the answers to the Four Questions. Filled with symbols, rituals, and insight into the holiday, both the young and the young at heart will treasure this gem.

The Bottom Line: This beautifully illustrated, bilingual book is both engaging and informative. Kids will love the colorful illustrations of animals. Also included is a page listing the Order of the Passover Seder and a page of history. The only thing I would have added is a glossary. Highly recommended holiday reading.
