Great Book for Passover

I bought this book for my 3 year old daughter, and she just loves it. The illustrations are great, really bright and catchy. The story is easy to follow and is a little more general than a lot of the Jewish holiday books. It does not emphasize the religious as much as the family tradition. Focuses on family bonding through the generations.
