The Miracle of Matzah Pizza

A Biblical Tall Tale

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 4
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

Matzah pizza is a Passover favorite of kids. After matzah at seder and matzah with cream cheese, it’s time for . . . matzah pizza!

But how did matzah pizza actually come to be? Zaydee tells Mikey a fun and zany version of the traditional Passover story. Did Miriam carry tomatoes on her head as well as matzah on her back while leaving Egypt? Did mozzarella cheese come from talking cows who were moo-ving to Israel? Was there magically enough matzah pizza for all the escaping Israelites? Perhaps Zaydee’s tall tale is “udderly unbelievable” . . . but it sure is fun!

Reviews

Publishers Weekly

“Koffsky concocts a comically far-fetched origin story for matzo-crust pizza in this punny picture book. . . . Miracles come in many forms, including culinary ones, this playful Passover tale suggests.”—Publishers Weekly
