We used this seder for our family this year, because we wanted to make it fun and meaningful for a "diverse" group-grandparents,parents and children ages-eight, five, 20 months and 2 months (of course the 2 month old was not an "issue" for this decision).The eight year old and five year old conducted most of the service and the adults were the "chorus."

Great for toddlers and preschoolers:
I got this Hagaddah for the seder this year. The kids are age 2 and 1 is almost 5.

Refreshing Passover Book!:
What a great Haggadah! It includes songs to sing based on familiar tunes and it has a reader and "chorus" part so my kids can read their part and the rest of the table can follow and do their part like a play reading -- it is just so different, yet appropriate. In fact, all the books in this series are a refreshing take on the jewish holidays -- a complete collection is a must have!
