When my son, Moses, was first learning to read, he loved this book, but he would always ask to read "Piss for Passover!" (Notice the print of the title)

This is a very nice children's book for Passover. Good for parents to read to their children or older children to read to younger siblings. Especially when they are waiting for dinner to be ready.

This review is from: P is for Passover (Holiday Alphabet Books) (Paperback)

A fun book about the different aspects of Passover, but may be a little over a toddler's head and suited more for pre-school and early school age children. Not a must have book, there are others that are a bit better, but if you are a book-olohic, then a book to have on the shelf!
