Pearl's Eight Days of Chanukah: A Story and an Activity
for Each Night: Chanukah's here, and Pearl is looking forward to celebrating
it with her family. But there's one problem-- Pearl's just found out that
her cousins, Harry and Sophie, will be joining them for all eight nights
of Chanukah, and she fears the worst. After all, it was Sophie who once put
a latke on Pearl's chair for her to sit on, and everyone knows that Harry
is like a "vilde chaya"-- a wild animal. Fortunately, Pearl doesn't have
time to worry about her cousins, because each night they do something special:
They make menorahs, prepare latkes and jelly doughnuts, sing holiday songs
for a friend in a nursing home, and make dreidels and puppets. Once the flurry
of activity ends, Pearl sits down to write about the week-- and realizes
that the true joy of Chanukah comes from being with loved ones. The intricately
detailed, jewel-like illustrations are a delight to the eye, and evoke the
warmth and spirit of Chanukah. Easy-to-follow instructions are included for
each activity, making this ideal for families who wish to create their own
Chanukah traditions.
"The real magic of the book is in its structure... Divided into eight
chapters, each corresponding to one of the eight days of Chanukah. The book,
appropriate for readers of all ages, not only evokes the warmth of the spirit
of Chanukah, but offers ways for families to celebrate that tradition." (Simon & Schuster, 1998) |
