(3) K-3 Illustrated by K. Wendy Popp. A family celebrates Hanukkah by retelling the story of the time Grandma and Great-Aunt Rose, imprisoned as girls in a German concentration camp, marked the holiday by hollowing out a stolen potato and lighting a thread placed in margarine. The text's emotional intensity and efficient character portrayal make the experience realistic. The sepia-toned, photorealistic paintings complement the story beautifully.
