One of the major benefits of the movement towards multiculturalism is that students in elementary schools are now exposed to December holidays other than Christmas. They now combine the celebrations of the Christian Christmas, Jewish Hanukkah and African Kwanza. That was not the case when I was in school, during the three years I was in junior high there was one student who always insisted on saying "Happy Hanukkah" when others said "Merry Christmas." I eventually had to ask him what it meant because I did not know.
This book is an excellent resource for the inclusion of Hanukkah in elementary school classes. The counting to eight for the eight candles of Hanukkah is done in English, Yiddish and Hebrew. A few additional words are included as different objects are counted. The book closes with a brief description of the origin of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.

The type is incredibly hard to read because of the background colors! Other than that, a nice little counting book.

Because my kids really love this book, I brought a copy to Israel to give to their cousins. Had I known the kids were going to fight over it, I'd have brought one for each of them!
