Book Review: 'There Was a Young Rabbi: A Hanukkah Tale' by Suzanne Wolfe

✰✰✰✰½ Read along as a young Rabbi celebrates the eight-day Festival of Lights with her family. She reads from the Torah, lights the menorah, makes brisket and latkes, and eats chocolate gelt.

The Bottom Line: Filled humor in both the large type text and illustrations, this holiday picture book is a treat to share. The rhyming and repetition make it easy for beginning readers to learn. And I appreciated the cheerful illustrations as well as the explanations about the holiday throughout the book. Highly recommended for everyone celebrating or learning about the holiday.
