From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K-- The introduction to the Four Questions, "Why is this night different from all other nights?" traditionally asked at the beginning of the Passover Seder, is used both to open this board book and to provide a unifying theme. Basic concepts and vocabulary are explained in simple language; full-color illustrations provide visual clarification. An great way to introduce the holiday to very young children. --Susan Kaminow, Arlington County Public Library, VA

Reader Reviews
Sure, Tomie De Paola is a famous author. But that doesn't mean that every book is a hit. This book is a decent overview--there are no details...i.e. (The Haggadah) "tells us the story of Passover." Nu? So where is the story? OH... second to last page, where there is one sentence "We celebrate Passover to remember when Moses led the Hebrew people out of slavery in Egypt." But there is no picture that shows this exciting event! If you are only going to buy one Passover board book, make it "My First Passover Board Book" by DK Publishing.... excellent pictures, details on all aspects, and real life pictures. You can adapt it to younger kids by skipping stuff... and it still makes sense. Comment | | (Report this)
