The Missing Letters: A Dreidel Story

by Renee Londner, Iryna Bodnaruk (Illustrator)

Overview

It's almost Hanukkah and the dreidel-maker's shop is busy. But all is not well for the four Hebrew letters that will soon go on the wooden tops. The Heys, the Nuns, and the Shins are jealous of everyone's favorite letter, the Gimel. They decide to hide the Gimels so that the dreidel-maker can't use them. But then the other letters learn that the Hanukkah story wouldn't be complete without the Gimels! Is it too late for the missing letters to be found?

Editorial Reviews

"The heys, the nuns and the shins are all ready for Chanukah. But where are the gimels? The dreidel maker is ready to affix the letters that adorn the four sides of the dreidel, but he has a problem – a missing letter. Look for the clues scattered throughout the book to see if he will find the gimels in time for Chanukah" - Cleveland Jewish News
