Scholastic Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah 2 Paperback Book Set Brand New Very Cute!

Description: This Hanukkah book is adorable! This set is brand new and in excellent condition! The books come from a smoke free home. The books measure 8" x 8". The author and illustrator are both Susan L. Roth. The copyright is 2006, and the publisher is Scholastic. The following is a synopsis of the plot of the book.: Readers/listeners are invited to a Hanukkah party that will last 8 nights. They can sing along with a family of mice as they dance the Horah, spin the dreidel, and eat delicious latkes to celebrate the Festival of Lights. Bright, colorful collage art using a wealth of textured, patterned papers and lace bring this traditional holiday song to life and will entice children to celebrate this luminous holiday with their entire family. Musical notes are included, so parents and children can sing along for 8 happy nights. This book serves as a fun, simple, artistic introduction to the holiday for younger children with very few words on a page. A lovable family of cute mice celebrates Hanukkah by lighting the menorah, welcoming and gathering with family and friends, dancing, enjoying potato pancakes, playing the spinning dreidel game, sharing gifts, and most of all recognizing the historical reason for the celebration as the song concludes, "to remind us of days long ago." Musical score for the melody and words to the song are in the back of the book. Roth's charming collages joyfully illustrate this Hanukkah song, and her art shines with holiday cheer. To create the collages for her books, Ms. Roth uses papers from 16 baskets in her studio, which are lined up by color. This book is an engaging introduction to Hanukkah for children who are unfamiliar with the celebration, and a wonderful affirmation for children who themselves celebrate the Festival of Lights. This book is a short and sweet illustration of a Hanukkah song, each page depicting the lyrics of the song through a family of mice as they celebrate the holiday. On nearly each page, a new candle is lit on the Menorah to illustrate the passage of time throughout the celebration. This story intrigues children, because it provides a plot with a use of language that is age-appropriate for lower elementary grades. The illustrations correspond to both the text and the setting, and hold interest to the reader/listener, which enhance and add to the story. The author/illustrator comes from Jewish backgrounds, so her knowledge is accurately represented from personal experience. The familiar children's anthem of the Festival of Lights takes on a new glow thanks to Roth's signature crazy quilt collages, in which the lyrics and melody line appear on a final spread. A family of mice and their guests mark each night of Hanukkah, and each line of the song, with a different festivity. Roth constructs a latke dinner that's a feast of textures, with the diner's extravagant, overlapping whiskers serving as a witty metaphor for the religious and familial ties that bind. This is a wonderful rendition of a holiday song in a beautifully illustrated book. Roth's whimsical, papercut, mixed media artwork clearly depicts common Jewish Hanukkah celebratory traditions, and her art joyfully opens space for meaningful conversation with young children about Hanukkah customs. If you would like pictures of the inside of the book, just let me know. I would be more than happy to add them to my listing. This set would make a wonderful addition to a preschool, kindergarten, or 1st grade classroom! It would also be nice to have in a household with young children, or to give as Hannukah gifts to little ones! I am hoping to find these books a good home.
