Even if you think
you know everything there is to know about
Pesach ... Even if you already have a million
ideas for celebrating the holiday ... Even if you
can't imagine wanting to do more for Pesach
after all that cleaning and preparation ...
The Kids' Catalog of Passover is one ter-
rific book.
The first thing you should know: It's fun. You
might never get around to actually reading the
text because you'll be so absorbed in the
great photos and art. There are drawings by
children, photos and charming illustrations
from Haggadot throughout the generations.
