ReviewsOne Little Goat is full of sarcastic humor and earnest goodness that kids -- and kids at heart -- will love. And Theo Ellsworth's hilariously busy illustrations vibrate right off the page. All who are hungry, come and eat., Irreverent and moving... Intricate lined textures and wide-eyed characters evoke Mark Alan Stamaty and Edvard Munch, conveying cosmic wonder and comedic anxiety... The narrator comes to see his family's seder, however messy and querulous, as one link in an unbroken chain of survival, celebration, and identity., At long last, here is the time-traveling goat-centric Passover adventure my people have been awaiting for thousands of years., The holiday's profound spiritual messages are movingly articulated by the comic book's many characters in ways that will engage both those who have never before attended a seder and those of traditional observance., Irreverent and moving... The narrator comes to see his family's seder, however messy and querulous, as one link in an unbroken chain of survival, celebration, and identity., What happens when you put together an endless Seder, a talking (scape) goat, and one not-so-wise teen boy? A trip through 3000 years of Seders and a new appreciation of holiday and family... This Passover story is written with nimble tongue-in-cheek humor. Readers won't want it to end., Inventive, wild and deeply rooted in the Jewish experience, history and mythology... A deeply timely lesson about Jewish history and resilience, and about just how special and magical Jewish tradition can be., Like the Hag­gadah itself, the nar­ra­tive and visu­al rich­ness of this high­ly rec­om­mend­ed, inven­tive graph­ic nov­el invites repeat­ed read­ings, each one per­haps dif­fer­ent from all the others.

SynopsisA lost afikoman, a time-traveling talking goat, and a never-ending seder illuminate the meaning of Passover in Dara Horn's hilariously deadpan graphic novel., A family sits at the Passover seder table, but cannot find their afikoman--the hidden matzah required to end the meal--and as a result, they are trapped at a seder that cannot end. Six months in, a wisecracking talking goat shows up at their door with bad news: Thousands of years of previous seders have accumulated underneath their seder, and their afikoman is stuck in one of them. Now the family's "wise child" must travel down with the goat through centuries of previous Passovers to find it--and to discover the questions he needs to start asking.
