Illustrated by
Amy Husband.
With a simple rhyming meter, this board-book introduction to blessings, candles, latkes, and holiday joy runs through the high points of Hanukkah ("Dreidels spinning through the night / Chocolate gelt--come take a bite") during a friendly eighth-night gathering at a rabbit family's house. The pastel-toned mixed-media illustrations show the visiting "friends and neighbors" as a congenial assortment of animals.
