(3) K-3 Illustrated by Robin Roraback. A simple rhythmic text conveys the rituals and spiritual aspects of a traditional Seder along with the joy of one family's celebration. Detailed pastel-colored illustrations show an extended family gathered for Passover, with children of various ages taking part in the evening's activities. Although a page of explanation is appended, the book is best for children who already know something about the holiday.
