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 by children's author Rachelle Burk evokes the classic children's satire "On Top of Spaghetti" this energetic, independent, and particularly expressive matzah ball bounces through major landmarks in Israel.
Fully supporting the author's original and entertaining storyline with thoroughly kid-friendly and charming illustrations by Brittany Lakin, Rachelle Burk's "Matzah Ball Chase" if a fun read from cover to cover and will prove to be an immediate and enduringly appreciated pick for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for children ages 3-6.—Midwest Book Review
"This very silly rhyming story...encourages travel, exploration, and learning about one's heritage." --Association of Jewish Libraries

The matzah ball paused when it passed Yad Va Shem*;
a moment of silence…then rolled on again.
