I have only glanced at this, but it seems clever. Dayenu means approximately "it is enough for us." Every time the family decides that they'll just do this much for Passover and it will be enough, they decide to do just one more thing as well. Eventually, they complete the Seder. The high points of the evening are covered, so it's also educational. The pictures are cute. (

This is the funniest Passover book I have ever read! Uncle Murray thinks he will just do a little for Passover, but with each step he realizes that it is not enough. Dayenu! See how a fictional-life family deals with the reality that buying Matza is not the same as making a seder.
