by Naomi Kleinberg

Illustrated by Christopher Moroney

 

What's a dreidel? Elmo wants to know! He finds out as he celebrates the first night of Hanukkah with a friend's family. He watches Gil, Susie and their parents light the menorah and joins in as they sing Hanukkah songs. After supper, he learns to play dreidel, the traditional Hanukkah spin-the-top game, which becomes the heart of this sweet little story. And at the end of the evening, Elmo gets his first Hanukkah gift-his very own little dreidel! This sturdy board book introduces little ones to a few of the traditions of the Jewish Festival of Lights. And they'll even learn how to play dreidel!
