PreS-K—A traditional Hanukkah song receives a new look in this illustrated version. Each spread covers only one or two phrases (e.g., "Let's have a party"), making it easier to recite than to sing along. Colorful acrylic illustrations are kid-friendly, with smiling family members gathered round to light the menorah, dance the hora, and play dreidel, overseen by an adorable yarmulke-wearing dog. While not as creatively illustrated as Susan L. Roth's version (Dial, 2004), this pleasant book is perfect for the preschool set.—Teri Markson, Los Angeles Public Library
In this picture book adaptation of the popular Hanukkah song, a joyful family lights the menorah, plays dreidel, and eats latkes. The acrylic illustrations are unremarkable and busy, though appropriately bright. And while the story's characters are overly cutesy, readers may enjoy following the antics of the (yarmulke-wearing) family dog. Sheet music and a note about the song's origins are included.
