Sammy Spider's First Hanukkah

Sammy Spider's First Hanukkah
Written by Sylvia A. Rouss
Illustrated by Katherine Janus Kahn
Kar-Ben Copies 1993

Getting into the spirit of the holidays, I wanted to share this book about Hanukkah. Sammy the Spider learns about Hanukkah. He smells latkes, sees differently colored dreidels and warms his feet hanging above the shamash. I love that this book can be used with preschoolers and older kids and all learn a little about Hanukkah if you are not familiar with the holiday. This can be a jumping off for all Hanukkah activities.
Making Menorahs, making latkes and making and playing the dreidel game. The author has a website with activities.
