How many times a day and in how many ways can one eat matzah, the quintessential Passover cracker? For a kid, it's all day and in many ways, as demonstrated in the board book I Love Matzah. From matzah with eggs at breakfast, to matzah with yogurt for a snack, as a side dish with dinner, and as a bedtime snack with cheese, matzah is a fun food enjoyed by little ones.
