"A delightful board book that introduces young children to the joys of the traditional dreidel game played around Hanukkah. Designed for children from birth to age five, this sturdy book is perfect for little hands to hold and explore as they spin around and fall down with the dreidel, with the puppy family playing. The simplicity of the book is a great strength, making it easy for young children to engage with the colorful illustrations and understand the basic concept of the dreidel itself. This book seamlessly weaves together fun and movement, with action words such as ""I fall down, too,"" and ""round and round I go!"" An especially strong part of the book is on the final page, where the Hebrew letters are shown and explained in a way that is easy for children to understand. It provides an opportunity for parents and caregivers to teach their little ones about the history and significance of the dreidel. VERDICT A fun addition to any library. --Jessica Clark, School Library Journal"
