IT'S HANUKAH TIME

childrensbooksA class of preschoolers prepares for a Hanukkah party. Each page has a full-page color photograph featuring a nursery-school group getting ready for a Hanukkah party. The children send dreidel invitations, make picture frames as gifts, hang Jewish stars, and clean their school "like the Maccabees cleaned the Temple." by sending invitations to their grandparents, making decorations and gifts, and mixing the batter for sufganiyot (donuts). When their guests arrive, everyone dances, sings, lights Hanukkah candles, and eats the treats. The text is short and simple, and the kids and grandparents are clearly having fun A recipe for the donuts is included, as well as the English and Hebrew texts for the Hanukkah candle blessings.
