Picture Book Wednesday: Hanukkah Books

 

Just a few Hanukkah Books to share:

The pups are having a party - this is a counting book of everything they need at the party.

A nice introduction to the holiday with cozy illustrations

This is one of my favorite board book series - they have several holidays covered. 

This one is sweet and charming and rhyming. The illustrations are adorable. The cutouts are sweet and not bad for library books and little hands. A fantastic book to share. 

Owen is the official candle lighter for Hanukkah. Each night as he goes to bed, his grandmother tells a story about a different family member.

I loved hearing about Owen's family members. This story was sweet and funny and informative. 

Mendel's always messing up. No one is more surprised than he is when the rabbi gives him the most important job this year: driving the Mitzvah Mobile. And he does mess up, but he also learns something important. 

Not everyone saw his mistake as a mistake. Sometimes you have to look at something differently. 

Al Rosen would perform a Christmas Mitzvah - a good deal and work for people who wanted to spend Christmas Eve with their families.

He worked so many different jobs over a 30-year period. I love that he started doing this with his son, continued after his son moved away for school, and they both continued the tradition when his son moved back. A sweet family story about kindness. The ending is so sweet - I confess it made me tear up.
