Uncle Eli's Special-for-Kids' is the haggada like you've never seen it, as silly as it is reverent, as traditional as it is new

Reader Reviews
"Uncle Eli" presents the Haggadah as Dr. Seuss-like verse. As the range of opinions in the reviews indicates, some people love it, some don't. We tried using it as a supplement to our regular Haggadah when our kids were Dr. Seuss-loving preschoolers, but found that most of the verses were very long and not clever enough to be worth the extra time it took to read them. Very short excerpts would probably liven up a seder for kids who are already familiar with the traditional service. Many of the verses are available on the web (a search for "Uncle Eli's Haggadah" should take you there) - check it out for yourself before buying.
