The Matzah Man: A Passover Story1 review
Naomi Howland
Clarion Books, 2002
Great Toddler Pesach Book!
This book about the "matzah man" who jumps out of Mr. Cohen, the baker's, oven has plenty of fun repetition that toddlers find so enjoyable. The pictures are great as the story builds to the surprise climax. With a few different refrains that my 2 1/2 year old daughter loves repeating, the book ...

Ann Hassett
Houghton Mifflin/Walter Lorraine Books, 2006
A series of encounters thwarts his big plans in this fun tale.
John and Ann Hassett's CAN'T CATCH ME offers up a funny spoof on the classic gingerbread boy runaway: here a mother makes her thirty boy an ice cube for his lemonade - but it escapes and runs out the kitchen door with plans to grow into an iceberg so he can bump into boats. A series of encounters ...

A Runaway Hit!
+ Really cute
+ Great Book -- highly recommended!
This is our new favorite. My son has wanted to hear this story umpteen times and that is always a sign of a hit. I've had fun with the narrative style in reading it (it lends itself to dramatics and overdone tone), but now my son is trying to steal the show having memorized half the book himself. ...

Bad Boys Get Cookie!2 reviews
Margie Palatini
Katherine Tegen Books, 2006
3 1/2 Long on Story, Short on Originality
+ This is a follow-up book to Bad Boys, but not quite as good.
While stories about disguised wolves looking for food have built-in audience appeal (especially when they pose as fedora-wearing detectives), this one seems a bit derivative. The whole "bad boy" concept seems similar to Daniel Pinkwater's "Bad Bear" series, and, while it may be in the public ...
