This is a trimmed down version of my review, to view the full review visit The Book Ramble.
This cute children's book is perfect for Hanukkah as it tells the story of a family of mice who get to enjoy their Hanukkah as one little girl shares her gifts with them each night. I enjoyed the story enough, though I think it was a little dull. The illustrations were not my favourite, they were all painted, but they were a little bland without much depth. While it's not my favourite Hanukkah book ever I do think it was cute enough.
The story is a little dull, it just basically consists of a list of gifts the girl gets each night that the mice react to. I think the writing was a little advanced for young kids as there were a lot of vocabulary words beyond the level of children who would be reading picture books still.
The art was alright. It's all painted and looked alright, the one issue I had was there was so much empty space when there could have been a lot more done on each page. It was just rather boring to look at. There was a lot of big empty spaces painting one colour without any depth and I would feel quite bad showing this to a kid because there's not a lot to look at.
There aren't a lot of options for kids Hanukkah books, or at least I never felt there were growing up. I think this was alright, though there are definitely others I've liked a lot better.

This cute little picture book makes for a fun Hanukkah read. We get to see a few Hanukkah traditions and we get to see a mouse family enjoy the new home the little girl has made for them from her Hanukkah gifts.
Not a masterpiece, but a fun and cute book that I would recommend.
