Chanukah Lights

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Sabuda. This satisfying pop-up travels around the globe and through the ages showing places where menorahs have been lit. On each spread, the background is brightly painted while the pop-up elements are white--except for a cleverly hidden lit menorah. Rosen's brief text takes readers from the first night of Hanukkah to the last throughout this uplifting volume, which demands repeat viewings.
