Scarlett and Sam: Escape from Egypt

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Ivica Stevanovic. Twins Scarlett and Sam's Passover seder comes alive when they time-travel to ancient Egypt. There, they meet the obstinate Pharaoh, watch the Egyptians experience the Ten Plagues, and help Moses and Aaron bring the Jews out of slavery. Accompanied by off-putting full-page caricatures highlighting the major plot points, the text effectively conveys to young readers the significance of the Exodus.
