Written by Laura Krauss Melmed. Illustrated by Elisabeth Schlossberg. San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 2010.Tonight is the third night of Hanukkah. Here's another picture book you can share with your family. This book joyfully depicts a family celebrating the eight nights of Hanukkah. They light the candles, sing songs and dance, play the dreidel game, visit with family, and eat lots of latkes! The illustrations are done in warm colors, full of soft edges and features, which adds to the coziness of this family story. The book is written in rhyming verses, which makes it great for sharing with younger children who love to listen to a good story! It can also serve as a counting book, as each night of Hanukkah is described. What are some of your family's Hanukkah traditions?
