A Joyful and Unique Chanukah Tale!
A delightful Chanukah tale with a healthy dose of rhyme, humor, perseverance and Yiddish! Learning to spin is frustrating and boring--but with her Bubbe's encouragement, Little Dreidel does not give up until she's whipping and whirling like her older cousins. The adorable illustrations show Little Dreidel sporting a frown and a shin (which she almost breaks in her failed attempts.) Little ones will cheer when Little Dreidel's tsuris turns to joy at the Chanukah party.

Fun and Educational
This is a such a fun and playful Hanukkah story that is bound to have kids wanting to spin their own dreidel’s. I particularly loved the ‘Don’t give up’ messages woven throughout as Dreidel finds spinning difficult at first but in time learns that practice and perseverance pays off. Scattered with Yiddish words (with glossary with definitions and pronunciations at the back) kids will be learning new words too!

Cute and Fun!
She's blown her clay dry to get ready for the Hanukkah party, but . . . she quickly finds out she can't keep up with the fast spinning of her dreidel cousins. What's a poor little blue dreidel to do? I think this story is appropriate for children whether they observe Hanukkah or not. It's good for children to learn about other cultures and faith traditions. Most importantly, there is one message from Little Dreidel Learns to Spin that will reach all children -- try and try again. Fun rhymes, entertaining illustrations, and a Yiddish glossary add to this cute, delightful book.
