Hanukkah!

I was very pleased with this book. I think the story itself is very cute and age-approriate for the target audience. I purchased it because I wanted a book to take to my daughter's preschool for a Hanukkah celebration to help the children learn more about what the holiday is and why it is observed. I don't think the story itself actually does the best job of "explaining" the holiday but like I said the story is very cute. There is a section on the back cover that does do a really nice job of giving a better history of Hanukkah and why it is celebrated and when I went into my daughter's preschool I actually started with that part first and then read the story and I think it went over really well with them. I may have substituted a word here and there but overall I was very, very pleased. Great book to have for any family that celebrates Hanukkah.

Fun book for young students to relate to and understand. Read it to my 4th grade students during the holiday and it helped them understand the customs and culture.

Had to purchase another one as ours was lost and it's both of my daughters' favorite book! Great, unique story and illustrations.

Great Product! Just as expected

use during holidays for compare/contrast with other holidays

I am a preschool teacher and used this book in a week long unit. Not only did we read it numerous times but my 4 and 5 year old students loved it every time. It not only educated them but entertained as well. I highly recommend this book.

My grandchildren loved Hanukkah! by Roni Schotter and I loved reading this book to them. The book portrays a loving family with a baby that can’t pronounce the word, Hanukkah till that end of the story which is very funny and reminds me of my children & grandchildren when they were this age. You really feel the joy of the holiday throughout the book .The illustrations are magnificent and it’s a great story to read outlloud because the language is so charming.This is a great choice for schools and libraries too because of the informative back matter about Hanukkah at the end of the book.Highly recommend

A friend gave this book to my daughter when she was a year old and about to celebrate her first Hanukkah. The book is cute, but I didn't think there was anything extraordinary about it. My daughter, however, disagrees. She is now almost 2-1/2. Every night I let her pick which books she wants to read before bedtime. This book makes it into the rotation EVERY week (sometimes several nights a week). There is just something about the book that she absolutely loves. Our original copy of the book has a few missing/torn pages...my daughter likes it so much that I decided I had to order another copy.
