This definitely needs to be added to my school library. This was a fantastic Hanukkah tale. (

This spin off of the Christmas Story helps teach students about Hanukkah and the traditions that the Jewish community have. Gives students a window into the culture. (

This was one of my favorite books growing up! It is so clever and also insightful at the same time. (

A very interactive and scary book about Hanukkah for primary and k-2 readers. I personally loved this book when I was a kid and it introduced me to the holiday Hanukkah. This book gives the representation of a holiday that not many people would know who don't celebrate Hanukkah. (
