Editorial Review:
"Ready for a story?"
Grandma Karen asked.
"Definitely,"
said Owen.
Every night of Hanukkah, after Owen -- the Official Candle Lighter -- lights the menorah, Grandma Karen kicks off her cowboy boots and tells him a bedtime story.On the first night there's the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of becoming a rabbi.
On the fourth night there's the amazing story of the alien who gets lost in a little girl's backyard.
And on the seventh night there's the silly story about a boy who wants to be a baby...and whose parents let him!
Join Owen in discovering how each of these stories is also a celebration of his own heritage in this heartwarming book about faith, family, and the miracle of Hanukkah.

The seven stories within the story keep the reader going through the eight nights of Hannukah and each is...more info

While such books are necessary, I prefer something a little more original, like Stephanie Spinner's delightfully warm and funny 'It's a Miracle!'. Although it's intended for ages 4 to 7, it is a winner for children of any age - and for...more info
