The Very Best Hanukkah Gift

115 pp. | Delacorte | October, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-385-32656-4 $$14.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Catharine O'Neill. Eight-year-old Daniel sometimes feels that he is "growing down" instead of up, but over the eight days of Hanukkah, he faces his fear of dogs and realizes that he is maturing in other areas, too. Illustrated with wispy black-and-white drawings, the lighthearted story and its likable protagonist will appeal to young readers. As Daniel's family celebrates the holiday, they tell many of the stories behind the Hanukkah traditions.
