Hannah resents being the littlest one in the family. But when her grandfather teaches her to chant the Four Questions for their Passover seder (the job of the youngest at the table), Hannah is finally grateful. The sentimental story is accompanied by pleasant pastel-colored illustrations featuring a pinpoint-eyed family. An explanation of the holiday is included.

It is a familiar theme: a group of friends are invited to a latkes dinner the first night of Hanukkah and asked to contribute side dishes. For one reason or another the neighbors' best intentions fail and they all bring latkes. The soft color illustrations set the story in a small village of the past. This is a pleasant, if undistinguished, addition for large collections. A recipe is included.
