This board book presents four vers­es of Dayenu, a song tra­di­tion­al­ly sung at the Passover seder, includ­ing plen­ty of chous­es of Day-day-eynu. The uniden­ti­fied author uses lan­guage that young chil­dren will be able to under­stand, high­light­ing the Jews com­ing out of Egypt, the split­ting of the sea, the receiv­ing of the Torah, and the Jews enter­ing Israel, each fol­lowed by ​“That was enough to make us hap­py. Sing a song and show we’re hap­py. Dayenu.” The col­or­ful car­toon-like illus­tra­tions depict the scenes in the song vers­es and a hap­py, mod­ern fam­i­ly at its seder, com­plete with the smil­ing lit­tle girl on the cov­er fast asleep at the end. This is a great addi­tion to the short list of Passover books for very young chil­dren. High­ly rec­om­mend­ed for ages 3 – 5.
