The Jewish Agency for Israel describe the books as "a wonderful activity for children and a good starting point for discussing holiday themes."
Uh! Oh! Jewish Holidays has been described on JBooks.com as being " interactive haggadah entertains children as they search for characters cleverly interspersed in Zwebner's lively illustrations. The language of the haggadah has been simplified to highlight the important elements of the seder for younger participants."
"The Jewish Family Fun Book" says of "Uh! Oh! Haggadah'": "interspersed among the pages of this haggadah are seek-and-find illustrations that will both teach children about the holiday (by depicting scenes from the Passover story) but keep kids busy during long stretches of the seder"
"Teaching Jewish Holidays: History, Values, and Activities" describes Uh! Oh! Hanukkah as being "based on the format of the Where's Waldo books, Uh! Oh! is an entertaining text." The book says that the Uh! Oh! title is suitable for anyone from K and up.
