We got this as a gift for our kids, but won't be making it a tradition in our house. And we don't have a Channukah bush, either. Bubbie and Zaidie are Santa Claus in a beard and dress.

I am happy to let my kids know about the traditions of other religions, but those traditions should be associated with the appropriate holidays. Channukah has enough of its own traditions, such as lighting the menorah, dreidel, latkes, sufganiyot, and the story of the miracle that God gave us when He helped the Maccabees defeat the Greeks and rededicate the Temple.

And by the way, Bubbe and Zaide are YIDDISH words, not Hebrew, as this book claims.

Guess what? After 20 long years and being technically out of print, this book is coming back to life in 2005 as a 20th anniversary edition from a new publisher in New York, updated and revised for a new generation of kids.

This book is a classic. It belongs in every Jewish (and half-Jewish) home in America. Daniel Bloom is the Bing Crosby of American Jews!

I purchased this book for my children. I've read it to my three year old. She did enjoy it although, she doesn't yet understand it. I'm sure she will some day. I plan to continue reading Bubbie And Zadie Come to My House to my children for many Hanukkahs to come. I just love this book!
