Customer Review: I bought a few copies of this book to give out at a birthday party to the children who came. However, I read it first. It is just delightful and educational as well, and the kids just loved it!
Customer Review: Books explaining the celebration of Hanukkah abound - who would have thought there was anything new to say to children on this topic? However, Heiligman's excellent book, published by National Geographic as part of the Holidays around the World series, offers a unique perspective. The historical... more info

A number of parts of the book make him laugh (such as a line that reads something like "Tinka is a icky, sticky, licky dog") and the illustrations are great. It's a very clever rhyming book and great for families that love dogs.
