With recipes like those for Baby Moses Salad (which uses a lettuce leaf for the basket, a fresh or canned peach half for the body and a large marshmallow for the head) and Chicken Soup for Beginners (aspiring cooks dissolve chicken bouillon cubes in boiling water and add carrots, celery stalks and dried dill), the "stay-flat" paperback Matzah Meals: A Passover Cookbook for Kids by Judy Tabs and Barbara Steinberg, illus. by Bill Hauser, won't give Martha Stewart any new headaches. Kids might like the tips for decorating the seder table, especially the crafts for bringing the 10 plagues to life ("Hail: Styrofoam packing pellets work great").
