Perfect Presentation of Hanukkah

The Hanukkah story is told in terms accessible to young children without the horror of hate being left out. This is an inclusive book, serving not only as a simple counting book (necessarily only to #8) but also covering the traditions of the holiday-family involvement, gift giving, tzedakah (charity)- and the rules of the dreidel game as well. The foil flames highlight the miracle of the oil and the illustrations make, even to the non-Jew, the holiday seem warm and familiar.This book well-serves as a good introduction of a celebration of freedom for any young child.
