Book Overview

What fun A Hanukkah book chock full of history, stories, activities, music, riddles, games, mazes, cartoons, puzzles, recipes, crafts, songs, and so much more.

A glossary, index, and annotated list of recommended books about Hanukkah are also included.

It contains enough enjoyment to last the eight days of Hanukkah and beyond.
