      The rhyming text of this charming picture-book celebrates the coming of spring, and of Passover, and described the various activities a family engages in, to prepare for this important holiday. Then, "When the sun's getting low and the doorbell stops ringing / And everyone's ready for stories and singing... / When the Seder is ready and candles are lit / And Nana's shown everyone just where to sit... / Passover is here!" One of five poetic picture-books anticipating various Jewish holidays that American author Chris Barash and Italian illustrator Alessandra Psacharopulo have created, from Is It Hanukkah Yet? to Is It Purim Yet?, Is It Passover Yet? offers an engaging celebration of the eponymous occasion. This isn't a book about Passover, nor an explanation of the customs associated with it, so there is an assumption that the reader already has the requisite information. Recommended to those looking for Passover titles for the younger picture-book audience.
