From Booklist
Gr. 3^-6. Hoyt-Goldsmith and photographer Migdale continue their multicultural holiday series with this well-thought-out photo-essay about Hanukkah as it is celebrated in America. The photographs of 11-year-old Leora and her family are warm and inviting, with Migdale catching celebrations at home, at school, and in the synagogue. Even his obviously staged pictures (Leora's brother leaning over a huge pile of jelly doughnuts) are beautifully handled. The text is equally fine, well organized and rich in detail but also friendly. The basic history is here, as are instructions for playing the traditional game of dreidel and making potato pancakes, information available in most books about Hanukkah. But Hoyt-Goldsmith also includes lots of extras--for example, a chapter explaining what happens when Hanukkah falls on the weekly celebration of Shabbat. The narration is the book's one problem: Leora is set up as spokesperson, but it's Hoyt-Goldsmith's voice that readers often hear. That's a small concern, however, in an otherwise exceptionally good book that is equal parts spirit and substance. Stephanie Zvirin
