Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

A family's menorah chronicles the day-by-day celebration of the holiday in this sweet-natured paper-over-board story. Manushkin (Daughters of Fire) mentions latkes, chocolate coins, etc., in what seems to be a standard-issue presentation until the eighth night, when, movingly, she writes, "My brave light pushes the darkness away. That's what Hanukkah is all about." Croll (The Great Easter Egg Hunt) enhances the tale with an early 1900s setting. Ages 5-8.

From School Library Journal

reS-Gr 2-A sweetly old-fashioned story of a traditional Hanukkah celebration, told from the menorah's point of view. Family members (parents, grandparents, four children) take turns lighting the candles, and then they sing songs, dance, play dreidel, make latkes, and participate in other holiday activities. The text is simple yet informative. Croll's double-page spreads, which are large and attractive, are reminiscent of Tomie dePaola's work, and will carry for group sharing. Visual appeal and a gleeful refrain ("I am bright, but I could be brighter") make this an excellent read-aloud choice.-M. A.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for kids who feel left out of Christmas!, Dec 10 2001
By Happy Camper "fharper6" (South Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hooray for Hanukkah! (Library Binding)
This is a terrific book for youngsters who feel left out of Christmas! My 5 year old son took this book in to share with the rest of his kindergarten class. It's educational and easily explains Hanukkah to kids. The book is very engaging and the illustrations are wonderful!
