Megillas Esther Booklet, Square Quilted Design Black #253

Square rather than upright, this Megillas Esther is 5 by 5 inches with a mini quilting design worked across the top and the bottom of the cover and a silver strip between them. Black is the sober one of the four colours it comes in, and the silver is what lifts it — that strip is the Purim touch on an otherwise plain cover.

Thirty pages, matte paperback. The contents run past the megillah and its brochos to birchas hamazon in both nuschaos, Ashkenaz and Edut HaMizrach, together with Al HaMichya and Sheva Brachos, so the booklet stays useful at the seudah after the reading is finished.

The square format is the reason people buy these for children. A 5 by 5 booklet sits open in small hands without folding shut, and it does not stick out of a pocket on the walk home. Black is generally the one taken for boys where the pink and the red go to the girls.
