Maccabee!: The Story of Hanukkah

32 pp. | Kar-Ben | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7613-4507-7 $17.95 | Paper ISBN 978-0-7613-4508-4 $7.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Harrington. Rhyming text recounts the Maccabees' stand for religious freedom; clever moments balance out some preachy ones. The text works better to reinforce the story for celebrants than to introduce it to readers of other faiths. Appropriately for the Festival of Lights, Harrington's use of light is the illustrations' greatest strength.
