(4) K-3 Illustrated by Katherine Janus Kahn. The Ziz (a bird king from Jewish legend) wants more light in wintertime, so God gives him an oil lamp. When the Ziz hears that Judah Maccabee needs oil for the menorah in the Holy Temple, he has to make a difficult decision. The colorful, cartoonish paintings don't match the tone of this unique take on the Hanukkah story.
