From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2–This straightforward retelling of the Hanukkah story is textually unremarkable yet interesting for its stepped-page format, in which a tableau of the temple in ancient Jerusalem is overlaid with a succession of pages that begin small and increase in size with each page turn. The simple graphic images are flat and almost comiclike, utilizing a lively pastel palette. While the format is unusual, the ending feels rather abrupt. Still, young readers will enjoy turning the pages and watching as more and more of the story is revealed.–Teri Markson, Los Angeles Public Library
