Reviews

PreS–In this illustrated version of the song, a family of mice and their assorted relatives eat latkes, read stories, dance the hora, light the menorah, and spin dreidels. Cloth and paper collages done in many different patterns and textures add interest to the cozy tableaux of expressionless mice with extravagantly long whiskers. The lovely colors and the appealing tune make this a good holiday choice.–E. M.

Pres-Gr. 3. A familiar Hanukkah song gets a sweet, if surprising, treatment in a compact book that uses mice as characters (it's not every day one gets to see a mouse wearing a yarmulke). As the song "Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah" says, the family lights the menorah; has a party; and, in a clever, eye-catching spread, dances the hora. Roth's torn-paper collages work best when there are only a few characters on the page, but even though it's more difficult to see what's going on in the crowded spreads, the art still shines with holiday cheer. Here, the music is appended, and everyone will enjoy singing along. Ilene Cooper
