(4) K-3 Illustrated by Iryna Bodnaruk. Overnight in a dreidel-maker's shop, cartoony anthropomorphized Hebrew letters--the Heys, Nuns, and Shins--hatch a jealous plot to hide all the fourth and game-winning letters, the Gimels. After learning the importance of all four letters to the traditional Hanukkah game, the guilty letters have a change of heart. A mildly amusing holiday story hampered by contrived and didactic explanations.
