Editorial Reviews

In this board book addition to the Sparkling Stories series, Spurr describes a Hanukkah family celebration in rhyming couplets. Gelt, candles and their light, gift-wrapping, holiday dress, and tableware, even snow outside lend themselves to the sparkling treatment, with holographic foil on every colorful page. Ages 2�5. (Oct.)

Publishers Weekly

PreS—Like Merry Sparkling Christmas (Sterling, 2010), this board book's main attraction is its sturdy pages full of shimmering things, such as shiny candles, glowing chocolate coins, and glittery presents. A simple rhyming text touches on the highlights of the holiday and includes appropriate terms, such as "gelt" and "dreidel," which is unfortunately misspelled "driedel." A festive choice for very young children.—Teri Markson, Los Angeles Public Library
