Every year holidays come with a flurry of people in search of books about that holiday. Christmas books are plentiful, but some of the other holidays don’t have as large a supply or a range to choose from.
Here's a list of special holiday books for young ones.
for Babies, Toddlers and Pre-K
At this level of books, we’re keeping it simple and basic.
Hanukkah,
Oh Hanukkah
by Susan L. Roth
This book takes one of the traditional songs of Hanukkah and illustrates it with cute mice characters in lively pictures. This works great as a read aloud for individuals or as a group for anyone who wants to introduce the holiday.
Oh, Chanukah
by L. J. Goodman
illustrations by Liz Conrad
A simple boardbook that introduces some of the basic concepts and symbols of Hanukkah for the very young.
Light the Candles: A Hanukah Lift-the-Flap Book
D is for Dreidel
by Tanya Lee Stone
illustrations by Dawn Apperley
An alphabet book that will also introduce children to different concepts and symbols surrounding the holiday of Chanukah. Probably not the best book for a read aloud, but a useful and educational book for one-on-one.
This author creates these sweet little lift-the-flap-books for all different topics and occasions. This one is extremely basic, best for the very young child. While not the most original book, it is bright and appealing and does introduce different symbols of Chanukah.
My First Menorah
by Salina Yoon
There are a number of “my first” books dealing with Hannukah, but this sturdy book can act like a menorah in and of itself, providing great visuals on lighting the candles. Nicely put together book!
Chanukah Lights Everywhere
by Michael J. Rosen, illustrated by Melissa Iwai
This picture book depicts all the different images and customs of Chanukah as a family prepares to celebrate the holiday. A good book for a preschool audience.
