Hanukkah Cat by Chaya M. Burstein
A stray cat turns up on the door step. It is the first night of Hanukkah--even mother and father can't turn it away. Later the cat's love of Latkas saves a lost child. Guess who has a new home on the last night of Hanukkah. I used to read this charming story to my Kindergarten class until I loaned it to someone who did not return it.

Kids' Catalog of Animals and the Earth
Like the other books in JPS's Kids' Catalog series, this is a useful and fact-filled compendium, written in the author's sprightly style and illustrated, in part, with her child-friendly cartoon stories. In the copy that was reviewed, all of the illustrations and photographs are in black and white, making for a somewhat monotonous format. The content is comprehensive, including factual ...

Wonderful

The pages are filled with beautiful colorful drawings. This made learning the words and being able to identify the objects in the picture more exciting than just reading out of a book. Although I ...

fun and yummy sufganiyot!
We've had this cookbook for about 20 years. Great chicken soup recipe! and the sufganiyot are so cute. We used to put a bowl of the chocolate glaze in the middle of the table and all the kids would dip their "donuts" in. What a mess! but great fun on chanukah! (make sure they're wearing aprons!) All the recipes are easy and fun and delicious. It's not fancy, but the illustrations are charming ...
