| The mouse family scurries into the dollhouse Rachel receives as her first Hanukkah gift. Each night of the holiday, they enjoy a new surprise until, on the eighth and last night, a small miracle occurs. "Kroll's simple story omits the history and religious significance of the holiday, focusing instead on the cultural details - candles, latkes, gifts, and Hanukkah gelt - that most impress very young children. A good choice for story hours or family sharing during the holiday." -- Booklist Margery Cuyler, my editor at Marshall Cavendish, wanted a story called The Hanukkah Mice. It took a while to get it right, but this is the result. |
