About this title

About the Author:

Susan L. Roth is the author and illustrator of many beautiful books for children. To create the collages for her books, Ms. Roth uses papers from sixteen baskets in her studio, which are lined up by color.

From Booklist:

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
