This charming picture book for younger children describes a typical family’s celebration of the Jewish Festival of Light. After Dad reads the kids a story from Jewish history, the family sings and lights the candles. The kids spin their dreidels, and all exchange gifts. At last the family sits at the dinner table, where they eat, drink, talk, and laugh. This delightful picture book depicts a typical Jewish family as they celebrate one of the year’s most important holidays. The traditional warmth of the Jewish holidays are reflected in cheerful and attractive little stories that speak not only to Jewish children but to boys and girls of all faiths. On the last two pages of each book, the traditions and meanings of the holiday are summarized for parents to relate to their children. There are attractive color illustrations on every page. (Ages 3-7)
Not what I was looking for This book doesn’t really explain the story of Chanukah in a way that children will understand. The story itself is just on last 2 pages in dense font. Not what I was looking for.
Nice Book Series on World Holidays! This book deals with Chaunukah in a simple nice way. It is a good introduction for the holiday for novices. I really like this series and own the books on Ramadan and Diwali also. Good for kids K-3.
