Part of the pub­lish­er’s series on hol­i­day par­ties, this pic­ture book recaps basic infor­ma­tion about Hanukkah and presents many cre­ative ideas for cel­e­bra­tion. Clear, col­or­ful pho­tographs of fam­i­lies enjoy­ing the hol­i­day accom­pa­ny the text. Sug­ges­tions for par­ty invi­ta­tions, dec­o­ra­tions and craft activ­i­ties are pre­sent­ed in enough detail to enable chil­dren to suc­cess­ful­ly and enjoy­ably com­plete each project. A recipe for latkes is includ­ed. It would have been bet­ter to have includ­ed more sub­stan­tive detail in some areas; tra­di­tion­al dec­o­ra­tion col­ors are not­ed as blue, white, sil­ver, and gold but no rea­son is giv­en as to what these col­ors rep­re­sent; suf­ganiy­ot are men­tioned as a tra­di­tion­al treat with no rea­son giv­en as to why. Nev­er­the­less, the book suc­ceeds as a fun, col­or­ful resource for kids who want to cel­e­brate a fun, col­or­ful hol­i­day with cre­ativ­i­ty and joy. A glos­sary, an index and a link to web­sites pro­vid­ing more infor­ma­tion are includ­ed. Rec­om­mend­ed for ages 7 – 10.
