HANUKKAH, OH HANUKKAH
by Susan L. Roth & illustrated by Susan L. Roth
Bright collage art using a wealth of textured, patterned papers and lace bring this traditional holiday song to life. A family of mice celebrates the festival by lighting the menorah, welcoming friends, dancing, enjoying latkes, playing the dreidel game, sharing gifts, and most of all recognizing the historical reason for the celebration as the song concludes, “to remind us of days long ago.” Musical score for the melody and words to the song are appended. While other related information such as why the menorah is lit is not included, this will serve as a fun, simple artistic introduction to the holiday for the youngest child. (Picture book. 2-4)
