Pirate Passover
A crew of pirates is getting their ship ready for Passover. They shine the rails, get rid of the chametz, and Captain Drew prepares the seder plate. Suddenly, waves start roaring and lightning flashes in the sky. As the ship start to rock in the storm, matzah balls roll into the ocean and sink. Washed ashore, the captain leads the crew to a house where the door is propped open wide. The pirates, and their pet, Bernie the parrot, are invited in to enjoy the seder and hear the Passover story

Reviews
Kirkus Reviews
“An enjoyable treat for the holiday. Don’t pass this one over.”―Kirkus Reviews
Publishers Weekly
“Press’s premise is whimsical, while round-headed, bright-eyed characters from Gulliver appear thoroughly earnest, impressing upon readers how observance and tradition persist no matter the circumstances.”―Publishers Weekly
Sydney Taylor Shmooze
“A pirate crew scrubbing and polishing their ship to get ready for Passover; the pirate captain preparing a seder plate; matzoh balls rolling off the plank into the ocean! What fun this clever Passover story is…It would be a great pre-seder read to share with the little ones who will be sitting at the holiday table.”―Sydney Taylor Shmooze
