Review by Sam

The Wise Child does not like seders. He thinks they are utterly boring. So when the baby throws the afikomen and no one can find it, he is anything but happy. Since the seder cannot end without the afikomen, The Wise Child and his whole family have been stuck at the seder for six months! When he hears a mysterious knock at the door, the Child is eager to get up. He finds a talking goat, who takes him back in time on a journey to find the afikomen... My favorite part was when the goat told the child to think in the perspectives of his sibling, like the baby who threw the afikomen, his “evil” sister, or his simple brother. The story really made me think about the true meaning of Passover and hope. I learned that the Passover story still exists, because thinking and asking questions can be like freedom. I rate this book a 100 out of 10. Dara Horn has truly created a funny, intriguing masterpiece.

Review by Lucy

I really like this book because it keeps your attention and it is a good fantasy story. The illustration are cool but black and white. If you like a little bit of history and a little bit of fantasy I recommend this book.

Review by Noa

In the book, One Little Goat, by Dara Horn, a boy gets stuck in a seder because his baby sister threw the afikoman through a portal. 6 months later, the boy meets a talking goat who found the afikoman and hid it in a safe place. So the boy follows the goat to find the afikoman. My favorite character is the goat because he is very weird and everyone in the book thinks he’s weird, too. Also, this book is a graphic novel, so if you like graphic novels, you should probably read this book.

MY TOTALLY INSANE REVIEW

Review by Hambone

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED ONE LITTLE GOAT! IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD. MY FAVORITE PART WAS THE GOAT! HE WAS SUCH A FUNNY CHARACTER. I ALSO LIKED THAT IT WAS A GRAPHIC NOVEL. I LOOOOOOOVE GRAPHIC NOVELS. IT WAS INTERESTING TO READ A BOOK WITH NO COLOR. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE MORE GRAPHIC NOVELS WITH NO COLOR. I ALSO LIKED THE JOKES MADE BY THE CHARACTERS. I ALWAYS KEEP ONE LITTLE GOAT ON MY SHELF WHERE I CAN FIND IT. I WOULD TOTALLY RECCOMMEND THIS BOOK. 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 THUMBS UP!

One Little Goat

Review by MoriLovesBooks

This book makes no sense! I understand the lessons that they are trying to teach with this book, but there are so many reasons why the plot isn’t logical. It was kind of fun to read, but the plot was very random.
