"Adorably colorful and wide-eyed Jewish family members celebrate Hanukkah in this newest Kar-Ben offering for preschoolers. 'It's Hanukkah for A to Z. An alphabet of things to see' is the first rhyming couplet . and . off we go--starting with King Antiochus and the Brave Maccabees, and ending with next Year being Hanukkah again, and ZZZZZZZZ--everyone tucked in bed. The cheery illustrations look as if they come straight off cute greeting cards. The interesting choices of words to highlight each letter differentiates this book from others of the genre, along with the author's clever way of engaging little ones with fun puzzles and picture searches. When a bit of history is shared, instead of the usual D for Dreidel, the letter appears within rhymes about the Maccabees: 'Freedom won, they celebrated.


See the temple Dedicated.' This is a true author-illustrator collaboration that works beautifully. Clever actions and puzzles on the pages keep young readers engaged with the adult sharing the book with them. They may need to follow a maze to find Jerusalem, look for the upside-down Hanukkah banner, or identify which child has a chocolate gelt-smeared smile, among many other simple challenges. All around, a rare treat of a Hanukkah book that children will ask to read more than once." -- AJL Reviews.
