Only Nine Chairs: A Tall Tale for Passover Book

Speculates in rhyme how to handle nineteen guests at a Seder dinner when there are only nine chairs.

Mary Quattlebaum - Children's Literature

The whole family is coming for Passover in Only Nine Chairs. Deborah Uchill Miller's rollicking rhyming story mixes tradition with fun, taking young readers through a Passover meal that lacks seats for ten people. Should some sit on the stairs? In the attic? Karen Ostrove's expressive cartoons add to the humor of this hilarious text as parsley is dipped with fishing rods and a matzah mountain formed. Kids will love searching the pictures to discover how each family member is trying to solve the problem. The family finally finds a believable and utterly satisfying solution to their problem until one final guest arrives. 1995, Kar-Ben,
