Matzah Ball Chase

“This very silly rhyming story…encourages travel, exploration, and learning about one’s heritage.” —Association of Jewish Libraries

Just as a boy’s grandmother puts some delicious matzah ball soup in his bowl, the matzah ball, animated and mischievous, jumps out and rolls onto the floor and out the door! As the two dash after it, more and more people join the chase as the matzah ball rolls past landmarks, from cities to deserts and eventually to the sea. This matzah ball will not be stopped!

In a spirited adventure reminiscent of The Gingerbread Man with a bouncy rhyming text evokes the classic children’s satire “On Top of Spaghetti” this energetic, independent, and particularly expressive matzah ball bounces through major landmarks in Israel.
