Most children (and some adults) go through a phase when they just love to say "NO!" to everything. Harriet K. Feder 's Judah Who Always Said "No!" will appeal to them (particularly between 4 and 8 year olds) as the hero, Judah, does exactly that. Every time he is asked to do something both as a child by his parents and later as an adult, by the Greek king, he refuses. This is a bit simplistic way of showing the Maccabean resistance, but sure is fun. I liked that the word "NO!" was set in much larger font than the rest of the text, that tells the basic story behind Hanukkah. Most of the pages are filled up with vivid aquarelle pictures (by Katherine Janus Kahn). If you are parent don't get too concerned that this book would teach your child to say no only, because at the very end of the book there is a strong affirming YES!.
