The Eighth Menorah

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Laura Hughes. "Sam's family already had lots of menorahs. They didn't need another one." This is Sam's predicament as he makes a Hanukkah menorah with his Hebrew school class. Sam's distress about this problem seems excessive, but it's resolved in a touching, if expected, way. The delicately rendered illustrations feature a loving family. Instructions for playing dreidel are (somewhat incongruously) appended.
