About this title

About the Author:

Tomie dePaola is one of the most well-known and best-loved creators of children’s books. He lives in New London, New Hampshire.

From Publishers Weekly:

With simple text and clear cheerful illustrations, dePaola has created a board-book introduction to Chanukah. The opening spread depicts an inviting primary landscape, with menorahs glowing in a window of each house. Following pages identify the traditional holiday accompaniments, such as the dreidel and latkes--complete with applesauce and sour cream. The progression of lighting the menorah is explained briefly, and the book closes with a nice sense of continuity for youngsters: "We will celebrate Chanukah again next year." The book's tone is geared to a very young audience, which provides parents with a good opportunity to elaborate on the story each year. Ages 1-5.
