Bower. The Hurry-up Exit From Egypt

The Hurry-up Exit From Egypt is a children's book by Gary Bower, with art by Barbara Chotiner, published in 2017. It is available at the Internet Archive.

Here is a YouTube read-along:

This is another one of Bower's "Faith that God Built" book series; earlier I posted about A Patch on the Peak of Ararat. The subject this time is Moses and the exodus from Egypt; specifically, the parting of the waters:

The story is told cumulatively in rhyming couplets; here is the cumulative conclusion, ending with the Bible itself:

This is the Book that tells of the day
God stopped their pursuers and swept them away,
after the chariots, hot on their heels,
with hobbly, wobbly, wiggly wheels,
pursuing their pathway, an eye-popping sight,
with water heaped high on the left and the right.
After old Moses had lifted his rod
and parted the waves by the power of God.
who blew back the sea that made them all, cry,
"We're trapped here like rats and were all gonna die!"
While fleeing King Pharaoh's frightening forces
— drivers on chariots, riders on horses —
chasing The Israelites thrown in a fit,
panicking, scampering lickety-split
on scurrying feet
that were frantic and fleet
on the hurry-up exit from Egypt.
