BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SOME

A family is gathering together to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah. The food, the games, the presents, the joy are all highlighted.

You have to wait for the back matter to learn why the family is celebrating Hanukkah, but that way the story gets a longer explanation than if it were within the story itself.
