4.0 out of 5 stars Very cute book, December 9, 2007

Very cute. My son and I read the book together for Chanukah. He enjoyed turning the flaps to see what happened next. Good preschooler story. Not too descriptive though, if you want more of a descriptive Chanukah story...this isn't the one. Very basic.

I enjoyed reading this book to my Sunday School students. The pre-schoolers loved the pictures and the content was enough to inform them of the true meaning of Hanakah.

My daughter is 21 months old and loves this book. She enjoys the visuals and whenever I'm finished reading it, she says "again." She constantly selects this book and hands it to me to read, saying "Hanukkah." She also loves saying "Happy Hanukkah" at the end. The content is perfect for my daughter's age and I'm pleasantly surprised that she's enjoying it this much.
