The Longest Night: A Passover Story av Laurel Snyder
Snyder imagines a Jewish child's point of view of the whole Passover story, from enslavement through the ten plagues through fleeing Egypt.
PreS-Gr 3—Fairy tales can be defined by the fact that children know how they end—but not with this book! Snyder
directs one plot after another, leaving choices in the hands of adventurous readers. Santat runs amok with the
concept, gleefully providing humorous illustrations on every page.

This is less biography & more a poetic ode to Anna Pavlova's artistic life. For biographical information, you must look to the author's notes & the sources in the bibliography. Pavlova is a lovely and interesting person to read about, and Julie Morstad's illustrations are wonderful to look at, but I find Laurel Snyder's appraisal of Pavlova's thinness & frailty a bit troublesome. The world of young girls could do with a lot less inculcations of snow- & feather-lightness as aspirations in the media they consume, seeing as how many grow up to lose body-confidence & fall prey to pressures to be thin & perfect. Snyder paints Pavlova's litheness as having paved the way to today's standards of thinness in the modern ballet, as if it were a groundbreaking accomplishment in itself! What a tacky message to send to young girl readers.… (mer)
