This is a cheer­ful­ly illus­trat­ed board book writ­ten in rhyme with meter that prop­er­ly scans. Each three line stan­za shares an aspect of Hanukkah and ends with the line Hanukkah is com­ing”, build­ing excite­ment and glee. The final page sat­is­fy­ing­ly ends with the line Hur­ray! Hanukkah is here!” A fun addi­tion to the shelf for the very young who want to turn the pages themselves.

Rec­om­mend­ed for ages 1 – 4.
