Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2-A simple introduction to the Festival of Lights, told in rhymed couplets. Max and his little sister, Ruth, are getting ready for the celebration by shining the menorah and choosing the candles. They proceed to participate in a wide variety of traditional activities, including playing dreidel, singing songs, eating latkes, and listening to Grandpa read the story of Hanukkah. Billin-Frye's colored-pencil, acrylic, and gouache pictures illustrate the rhyme in an appealing and child-friendly way.-M. A.

From Booklist

PreS-Gr. 2. As they did in This Is the Pumpkin (1997) and This Is the Turkey (2003), Levine and Billin-Frye use simple, rhyming couplets and brightly colored, full-page illustrations to demonstrate how one family celebrates a holiday. Preparations for Hanukkah are underway. Max finds the dreidel, polishes the menorah, and helps his younger sister select candles as Mom prepares food, and everyone recites the blessings and lights the candles. The family exchanges presents and then welcomes other relatives, who enjoy eating latkes, playing games, singing songs, and listening to stories. As the holiday ends, Max returns his dreidel to the drawer to await next year's festivities. Although the verses do not cumulate as they do in "This Is the House That Jack Built," the meter follows a similar form and will appeal to children. The artwork has a cozy feel and is large enough for story hour sharing. A welcome addition to the holiday shelf. Glossary appended. Kay Weisman
