About the Author:

The book has sold over 2 million copies and is still in print. They have authored more than two dozen books, as well as 36 editions of My Very Own Jewish Calendar, and have received the prestigious Sydney Taylor Body of Work Award from the Association of Jewish Libraries.

From Booklist:

Gr. 2-4. The facts and traditions of Passover, Judaism's springtime celebration of freedom, are straightforwardly presented in this concise guide to the holiday. A synopsis of the Passover story leads to contemporary preparations for the holiday: cleaning house, helping those less fortunate, and cooking the seder meal. A description of the seder, from an explanation of the Haggadah to Passover recipes, completes the text. Unfortunately, the book's cheerfully colored silk screens cannot mask the illustrations' stiff, expressionless rendering of the animal and human figures. The pictures are more successful in their depiction of the family's seder, which imaginatively capsulizes the transition from Israelite slaves to free Jews. Accessible and to-the-point, this is a serviceable introduction for both general and religious collections. REVWR
