Daniel Howarth.
A bunny family celebrates Hanukkah. Siblings Violet and Simon enter boisterously into the festivities, and their enthusiastic missteps ("Now let's light them!" says Simon of the menorah candles; "Not until the sun sets," answers Papa) allow readers to learn the holiday's rituals. The bunnies are winsome in their vividly colored people-clothes, and sunny yellow backdrops telegraph the book's feel-good holiday message.
