CBC Showcase: Holidays Around the World
Everything you ever wanted to know about the Hanukkah holiday, centered on the children's game of dreidel. Includes the history and customs of the holiday, trivia, a song, science facts, and jokes.
by Rebecca Tova Ben-Zvi, illustrated by Susanna Natti
"Detailed, intriguing facts and legends recount the historical reason for the holiday's recognition, the origins of the dreidel game, the varieties of materials used to make one and how the rules of play evolved over generations, as well as Newton's law of inertia that allows the spinning top to stay in motion. This is one of the most complete and cleverly written books on the winter holiday. Well-designed and entertainingly interesting. Great for families to share and read aloud." —Kirkus Reviews
