Hanukkah and Christmas at My House

As seen in WORKING MOTHER & CHILD magazines. "Young children enjoy hearing tales of their parents' childhoods, & this delightful book uses a Jewish mommy's recollections of Hanukkah & a Christian daddy's memories of Christmas as the framework for presenting the stories, foods, songs, decorations, & special customs unique to each holiday. Several features which add to the value of this book are the recipes for the holiday foods, the historical background material, & the charming illustrations which can help young children visualize unfamiliar objects & events from both holidays. "Ms. Gertz has provided an EXCELLENT RESOURCE FOR FAMILIES & RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CLASSES."--District Curriculum Librarian, Unitarian Universalist Association. "For the young children for whom this book is intended, & for their parents for whom the author has provided a more detailed history & some good traditional recipes, THIS BOOK IS A MUST. It may be one of the few publications available through which to deal with a child's confusion in having a mom & dad of different religious backgrounds."--Small Press Magazine. "Potato latkes & Christmas cookies, a menorah & a Christmas angel, 'I Had a Little Dreidle' & 'Deck the Halls' all coexist in a suprisingly simple & logical manner in this extraordinary book."--All About Kids. "...A BOOK THAT ALL CHILDREN SHOULD READ, so they may better understand...families which celebrate both holidays."--B'nai Brith Messenger.
