From Booklist
Ages 4-7. Chanukah, the Festival of Lights, as seen through the eyes of a young boy, is the focus of this simple yet effective story. Each two-page spread highlights one candle on the menorah as the boy finds other lights--in his home, his neighborhood, his world--that mirror the festive illuminations: "On the fourth night of Chanukah, I find four lights in the kitchen: Mom fries up platters of latkes, and four flames flicker under the sizzling skillets." Iwai's art has a solid feel that mirrors the sturdy story, while the unusual perspectives add a whimsical veneer. Children who don't know much about the holiday may be a little lost; an endnote makes clear some things, but not all. What kids will respond to is the warm feeling this generates and the sheer sense of wonder that the narrator so innocently exudes. Ilene Cooper
