Book Reviews of The Chanukkah Guest
Book Review: A classroom Chanukkah treat!
Summary: 5 Stars
I teach in a small, church-owned preschool where we "do" all the holidays, including Eid and Hanukkah. This book is great for introducing the holiday's various traditions, including dreidl and latkes. Plus it makes a terrific class play, because there are enough parts for everyone. The story is very funny, where an old Babushka who can't see well any longer (and probably can't smell well, either!)mistakes a bear for the rabbi, and invites him into her home for dreidl and latkes. Not being able to hear well, either, she mistakes his growls for the words, and when he leaves, she gives him the scarf she has made for the rabbi. Soon the whole town, including the real rabbi, come to wish her Happy Hanukkah, and she finds out her mistake. Using an old fur coat, I have my preschool children act out the story, with the "bear" in real fur. The children learn the concepts of this holiday's traditions easily, and remember them.
