Retells the story of the first Hanukkah, describing how Mattathias and his followers defeated their Greek rulers, the rededication of the Temple, and the miracle of the oil, and discusses how Hanukkah is celebrated today. - Baker & Taylor
Sumptuously illustrated with period-authentic artwork, an age-appropriate board-book adaptation of the popular introduction to Hanukkah touches on both the traditions observed by Jewish families and the ancient miracle they honor throughout its eight days. By the author of the Cam Jansen series. - Baker & Taylor
"No celebration of Hanukkah would be complete without recounting the events of more than two thousand years ago that the holiday commemorates. In a simple yet dramatic text and vibrant paintings, the story of the courageous Maccabees and the miracle thattook place in the Temple in Jerusalem is retold."--Amazon.com. - Random House, Inc.
Hanukkah is a wonderful time filled with games, food, family, and fun.
It's also the celebration of an ancient miracle, and retelling and remembering the story of that miracle is an essential part of the holiday, for young and old. The story of the courageous Maccabees is retold in simple yet dramatic text, accompanied by vibrant paintings of the battle, the Temple of Jersualem, and the oil which miraculously burned for eight long nights.
A traditional recipe for latkes is included, as are directions for the dreidel game, for readers who want to continue the festivities at home.
