One Night, One Hanukkah Night
By Aidel Backman
|
The same menorah that shone in Bubby and Zaidy's house,
so long ago, now glistens in a modern home. Children
sing Hanukkah songs, make latkes, and act out historic
scenes. For each night there is a new form of celebration
as another candle is added and Hanukkah traditions pass
from one generation to the next.
description from Publisher
Using simple, lilting verse, each night of Hanukkah is very briefly
described by focusing on one aspect of the festivities. The color
illustrations juxtapose a contemporary celebration with one set in
the past.

Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah! :
A Treasury of Stories, Songs, and Games to Share
By Wendy Wax |
Bright as a sparkling winter night, snow-speckled pages invite
readers to observe the Hanukkah candles being lit. Bolder, more
dramatically hued paintings emphasize the honor or intensify
the magic of such selections as David A. Adler's story, "Malke's
Secret Recipe," Aileen Fisher's poem, "Light the Festive
Candles," and Charlotte Herman's retelling of the traditional
tale "The Two Miracles of Hanukkah." Whimsically drawn children
frolic across other pages demonstrating how to dance the hora,
play dreidel, and perform fingerplays. Highlighting this
collection of activities and readings are Hanukkah memories of
four well-known authors and performers, among them Shari Lewis'
vivid recollections of her first Hanukkah away from home when,
at 13, she took her ventriloquism show on the road for the Jewish
Center Lecture Bureau. Appealing and versatile, the book is sure
to be a valuable addition to holiday collections.
Description from Booklist
The collection of traditional songs, personal reminiscences, crafts, games, poems, and stories for the whole family is cheerfully illustrated in full color. Although stronger poetry could have been selected, the total package is attractively organized.

The Kvetchit:
A Hanukkah Tale
(Book and Cassette)
By Larry Butchins
|
I am a children's librarian and I love using the story around Chanukah time. I read it to a group
of children, and then play the cassette tape so they can listen to all the kvetches (complaints).
Then I invite the children and their parents up and ask them to recite their favorite kvetch into
the tape recorder. At the end of the program, I play back all the complaints and everyone
loves listening to themselves! The illustrations in this book are lovely. I have given many
copies away as gifts and they receive rave reviews.
