"It's Hanukkah from A to Z / An alphabet of things to see." Rhyming couplets loosely describe Hanukkah's story and traditions, from King Antiochus to bedtime "Zzzzzzzzz." The format is too constrained to impart significant information about the holiday, but kids will get a cursory introduction. Bright illustrations featuring pink-cheeked, Rugrats-looking children playing with dreidels and making latkes accompany the text.
