Publishers Weekly

As his owner sets about to create a menorah to celebrate Hanukkah, Biscuit gets into his usual mischief: exploring wet paint (he makes a cute blue nosed dog), and helping with the wrapping paper and ribbon (by getting himself "wrapped" up). This gentle little book shows a little girl and her puppy engaged in an art project with a purpose. They share their finished menorah with a couple of other children. The text is intended for early readers, but it is perfect to share with little listeners who will also observe the yarmulke on a little boy's head as a natural part of the illustrations. This is a good introduction to some of the aspects of Hanukkah and includes words such as "shamash," which is explained to Biscuit as meaning the "leader candle." 2005, Harper Collins, Ages 2 to 6.
