Matzo Frogs

About this book

A Tablet "Best Jewish Childrens Books" Selection When kind-hearted Minnie spills the matzo ball soup she was making for Shabbat dinner the frogs who live in a nearby pond spring into action. They decide to save Minnies Shabbat by making a new pot of soup while she is out--a mitzvah from one neighbor to another. Together the frogs work through the recipe meeting every challenge with an amphibian solution: chopping carrots by playing leapfrog using a long sticky tongue to pull a cookbook off a shelf and giving each other a helping hop wherever they can. With creativity and froggy flair the cold-water chefs make the soup and save Minnies dinner. Warm and whimsical Matzo Frogs conveys an enduring message about the importance of mitzvot community and teamwork.
