This Is the Dreidel

32 pp. | Whitman | September, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-7884-3 $$14.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Paige Billin-Frye. Levine employs a "House That Jack Built" rhyme scheme to craft a warm, cheerful story about a family's Hanukkah celebration. A dreidel is retrieved from a drawer, an act that initiates such pleasurable seasonal activities as eating latkes, opening presents, and lighting candles. Illustrations in colored pencil, acrylic, and gouache add an appropriate and pleasing visual complement. Glos.
