Books in Let's Celebrate: Hundred Pages Series series

Wonderful idea for that special child turning a double-digit number of 10 this birthday! A blank, lined book leaves plenty of room to write or draw in at 100 pages, but not so much that a child will be discouraged by the size. He or she can put down what they would like to do during their birthday year and tell of what they actually did. Thoughts and stories can fill the pages. Creative gift which celebrates becoming 10.

Here is a wonderful, beautifully illustrated book to help inspire Jewish children in celebration of Hanukkah, the festival of lights, while also telling boys and girls of all faiths the fascinating story and traditions connected with this festive holiday. The book’s first part tells the story, taken from The Book of Maccabees and other historical sources, of how Antiochus of Syria invaded the land of Judea and forbade the Jews to perform their religious rites, which included lighting the menorah. The story goes on to tell how the Syrians were ultimately defeated and driven away by the Maccabees, and how the Temple of Jerusalem was restored and its menorah lighted and miraculously kept burning. This book’s remaining pages describe the joyful Hanukkah rituals meant to commemorate the miracle of the menorah. Children read about the special foods for Hanukkah, learn to light Hanukkah candles, make lots of fun, innovative crafts, play dreidel with chocolate Gelt, and generally celebrate this joyous holiday. Includes sidebars with cool facts! (Ages 6–9)
