4.0 out of 5 stars
Sweet book with illustrations of multi-cultural families
The happy extended family on the cover (and inside) shows a lovely range of skin tone. Bliss to the parent trying to show books where a range of skin color is a given. True, the format of the book borrows from the familiar pattern of "The Twelve Days of Christmas," but if parents can resist the urge to actually sing that particular tune while they read, most kids...

nothing of value
As with Runaway Dreidel, Ms Newman takes her inspiration for a Chanukah book from Xmas, not a good place to start writing a good quality book for Jewish children. So, it is not surprising that the book contains nothing of value. Neither the text nor the illustrations feel like they depict a Jewish family at Chanukah.

This review is from: The Eight Nights of Chanukah (Hardcover)
The happy extended family on the cover (and inside) shows a lovely range of skin tone. Bliss to the parent trying to show books where a range of skin color is a given.True, the format of the book borrows from the familiar pattern of "The Twelve Days of Christmas," but if parents can resist the urge to actually sing that particular tune while they read, most kids won't get the reference (especially kids who grow up in homes and schools that do not celebrate Christmas). This is a counting book above all, and every page encourages children to count the objects named.
