(2) PS "1 light. / Special night. / 2 lights. / Happy nights." A soothingly simple text guides young listeners through the nights and lights of Hanukkah in this counting board book. The main attraction here is the striking art: against a black background, each added flame is shown in a different radiant color, with white lines filling in a few more details. A final spread explains briefly how to create the varying types of marks used for the flames: "drip: Use an eyedropper to drip paint"; "crisscross: Use pencils, crayons, or chalk to make fine lines." A bright little gift for budding young artists.
