Hanukkah

is a wonderful time filled with games, food, family, and fun.

It's

also

the celebration of an ancient miracle, and retelling and

remembering

the story of

that miracle is an essential part of the

holiday, for

young and old. The story of the courageous Maccabees is

retold in simple yet dramatic text, accompanied by vibrant paintings of

the battle, the Temple of Jersualem, and the oil which miraculously

burned for eight long nights.

A traditional recipe for latkes

is included, as are directions for the dreidel game, for readers who

want to continue the festivities at home.
