3.5, but rounding up- thought it was okay. Here's the birthday book! It's Passover so Rebecca worries that her birthday will be forgotten but turns out, her family has a surprise for her... Uncle Max also takes Rebecca to work, and we learn how silent films were made.

Would perhaps have been nice

 to spend more time on what Passover means, but when Rebecca describes how great Moses parting the Red Sea would be as a movie, I can't help but think of Charleston Heston 41 years in the future from this story.
