This book is about a little girl celebrating her first Hanukkah. I picked this book for it's diversity in religion. I am not Jewish myself, so I thought it would be educational to learn a little about a holiday I do not celebrate myself. The book has a rhyme through out. I love books that have rhyme, it just has a flow while reading it. The little girl talks about the dancing, food, and lessons learned while they celebrate Hanukkah. I feel it's good to have books like this to educate children who aren't Jewish, as well as to make Jewish children feel included. There are numerous Christmas books, but it's rare to find a book about Hanukkah. ( )

A very fun-loving book about a Hanukkah Hop party at Rachel’s house. It highlights all the Hanukkah symbols. A book recommended for 6-8 year olds. It makes you happy! - Karen S. ( )

An introduction to several traditions of Hanukkah.

The focus is on the fun in this rhyming story about one family's Hanukkah celebration. It's a dance with all of the traditional foods and games mentioned as well. The illustrations have a retro feel.
