Celebrate the festival of lights with this board book edition of Leslie Kimmelman's popular picture book. Just right for preschoolers, this charming Hanukkah story beautifully introduces several holiday traditions, including lighting the menorah, reciting blessings, playing dreidel games, and more."Simple text and jovial watercolors convey the warmth and fun of a family's Hanukkah celebration. Each turn of the page brings a new night of the eight-night holiday and highlights different traditional customs [while on] each double-page spread a menorah [adds] a candle-counting exercise to this playful presentation of holiday customs and activities." —BL.

4.0 out of 5 stars
fun little book with lots of Chanukah details,
By
This review is from: Hanukkah Lights, Hanukkah Nights Board Book (Board book)
Young children will love counting the items on each page of this counting/Chanukah board book. They'll like the charming little cats hiding in each illustration, too. The pictures are so cute, my kids enjoy reading this book even after Chanukah has come and gone. More religious readers will want to know that the ladies are dressed modestly, but that there is one page when the "aunts" make the blessings, rather than the gentlemen.
