This review is from: Hanukkah Puzzle Book (Board book)

This is a first-of-its kind, ready-to-give, Chanukah book for kids. Its novel construction kept my test-marketer, a ten year old niece, busy for longer than expected, and appreciative. Its value is enhanced by the authentic warmth of the author's dedication, to her parents.
