Leslea Newman
Illustrated by Kyrsten Brooker
|
As his whole family gathers to prepare for the first night of Chanukah, a young boy's dreidel spins out of control, taking him and his family (as well as the reader!) on a frenzied chase throughout the bustling city. The hot pursuit of the rogue dreidel leads us out past the city limits and on into the soon-to-be-celebrating countryside. What whizzes by as the family tails the maverick holiday toy are bits and pieces of the Chanukah experience - the whirlwind of all the uncles, cousins, babkas, latkes, delis and dreidels that make up the Festival of Lights. The illustrations are stunning! An amazing combination of oil paint and cut paper, the pictures add the perfect, lifelike (almost three-dimensional) touch to the timelessness of the Chanukah traditions portrayed within. Written in the style and rhythm of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, this book is great for reading aloud. Just the thing for starting your own holiday tradition! I wholeheartedly recommend that you catch this Runaway Dreidel!
