The Hanukkah Mice Reviews

  • Kathryn

    So cute! One of my favorite Hanukkah stories, great for little ones with the "peek-a-boo" flaps and adorable mice.

  • Ariel Smith

    Personal Reaction: This book was adorable and so much fun. I don't know much about Hanukkah so it was fun to read a little bit about the things they do during their tradition! The mice go around each night finding a new item for Hanukkah that is shiny or delicious smelling. This book is so great for teaching about the different religious that are celebrated at the same time as Christmas.

    Independent Read: This book would be best for children who are not familiar with Hanukkah, I think. Around grade 2-3 because of the more complex sentences. It is great for kids to read about the different holidays that people celebrate around the world, and maybe even in their school!

    Read aloud: This would be best during the winter months when we are learning about all the different holidays. It would be fun to read a passage a day and find our own "gifts" on each day like the mice do.

    Literary Elements: This book has a little bit more complex sentences, but the words are simple and easy for children to understand and read. Using it in the classroom would not be difficult at all because it is a fun book to read and children could even guess what the mice find on each of the days.

    This book was fun to read. It was cute and I know that I had no idea any of the items that go along with Hanukkah so it was fun to read about the things that go into it. Plus Mice are adorable.

    This is an entertaining story about Hanukkah, with sparkly pages and simple descriptions of the various ways in which the holiday is celebrated. The illustrations are cute and the fold out pages are sure to be a hit with younger children. We've read this one a couple of times and it's fun to look at all the sparkly decorations.
