‘Tis the season to light up those menorahs, play some dreidle, chow down on some latkes and cozy up with the family for a story time. Here at BookPeople, we’re celebrating the holiday with a featured selection of our favorite Hanukkah books for children. Take a look!
Beautiful Yetta’s Hanukkah Kitten by Daniel Pinkwater, illustrated by Jill Pinkwater
Molly – Beautiful Yetta, a kind chicken roaming free in Brooklyn, lives with her parrot friends. She finds a tiny kitten, and she and the parrots find the kitten a new shelter just in time for Hanukkah!
Latkes, Latkes Good to Eat by Naomi Howland
Althea – Many are familiar with the more well-known miracle story of Hanukkah, but this is another story of another miracle involving Sadie and a magic frying pan and lots and lots of golden, sizzling latkes – What could be better than that?!

Why thank you 🙂 happy Chanukah to you too! I actually read Sammy’s First Rosh Hashana when I was a child- that was a great book! (He gets tangled up in honey and it’s really sweet- pun intended :p )
