I just bought a worthwhile book on Pesach published by National Geographic: Celebrate Passover, by Deborah Heiligman and consultant Rabbi Shira Stern. The book has large, colorful photographs of children around the world observing Pesach. It features medium sized font in informative text appropriate for children through about 3rd grade. On the same pages, large green font relates simple concepts to photographs, making it equally useful for the very young children to whom I also give library lessons, ie.: "We search for crumbs." "We think of those who are hungry." Etc. This might sound cluttered, but it isn' t . I' m happy with this book.
