Light The Lights! A Story About Celebrating Hanukkah And Christmas

Wonderful book for helping kids understanding Judeo-Christian religious traditions. Highly recommend.

This book is a great comparison of Christmas and Hanukkah traditions. Students not only get an idea of each holiday but they can see similarities and differences. It is a very informative text for young children.

For a 2-1/2 year old enjoying his first real holiday season (too young last year), this was perfect but it is very short. His Mom is Jewish and dad Christian. Like many families they have menorah, tree and stockings.

Really nice book. It's nice to have a book to read to your children explaining what different holidays mean and that it's ok to celebrate more then one an be mixed ! It's a smaller print for a child's book so it's a nice sit down book that will take longer then 5 minutes to read. The pictures are very sweet and a good way to explain what a menorah is and what a christmas tree is etc. cute cute cute!

The images in the book were beautiful and both holidays were well represented. My 3 year old daughter loved it.

Arrived in a very timely manner. I'm trying to introduce my children to different cultures and this book wasn't as informative about Hanukkah as I would've liked.

The children in my classroom of 3, 4, and 5 year olds enjoyed this book. They could relate to the clear illustrations and story line. I appreciated having a book that reflects the celebrations that happen in many children's homes.

Beautifully written with positive text and evocative imagery. A genuinely lovely book to demonstrate the similarities between the two holidays. The best book I have come across on the subject of celebrating both Hanukkah and Christmas. Enables children to see parallels for themselves whilst understanding and respecting the different religious traditions behind the holidays.

Super book explaining Hanukkah and Christmas; particularly good for children in a mixed Faith marriage so that the children learn to respect and love each parent's Faith.

It had lovely illustrations! My class really enjoyed it and it was good value for money!

Perfect reading for a child in the same situation. Very easy for a child to understand. Beautifully illustrated. I recommend it.

Emma's family celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas; so the first half of this short book explains about lighting the menorah and then once that is put away, the second half of the book describes the family choosing their Christmas tree. I can imagine that this is a lovely book for children who celebrate both festivals and the illustrations really are very beautiful. However, I was hoping that there would be some explanation as to why we celebrate the significance of the menorah and the reasons behind Hanukkah. So, for me, this book was something of a disappointment. Beyond the illustrations there isn't enough of a narrative to hold my children's attention. It's a pretty book but it felt like a missed opportunity!
