Just what I was looking for to help my niece learn about Hanukkah.:
I bought this book for my niece who was curious about Hanukkah and it answered most of her questions. It is well illustrated and written. I enjoyed it myself.
The best "all purpose" Hanukkah book around:
The book tells the story clearly and concisely; the illustrations (new this year) are colorful and eye-catching, but what sets the book apart are the discussion themes for each of the eight nights -- suggestions for families to chat about while the candles are burning (what it means to be free, gifts and giving, what makes a hero, and more. There's also music and recipes to round out the holiday celebration.
