A lively picture book celebrating holiday traditions, the patience of parenting, sibling relationships, and children's fondness for pajamas, along with a fun, read-aloud, new book to help everyone celebrate the holiday together - in, or out, of pajamakkahs.
When Ruthie receives pajamakkahs for Hanukkah, she loves them so much she refuses to take them off--for all eight nights. But as they get smeared and stained, splattered and smudged, Ruthie's determined to show her parents she can stay spotless.
With globs of humor, a big splatter of love, and out of the gift-box creativity, Hanukkah Pajamakkahs is a fresh, new celebration of a special holiday.
Best friends Charley Chipmunk and Seymour Squirrel are planning their Hanukkah celebration. I'll fry the latkes, and you bring the menorah and the candles, Seymour suggests.
But when Hanukkah arrives Charley can't remember what he is supposed to bring. He knows it started with the letter C. Was it cantaloupe? Carrots? Cookies? Charley's backpack is overflowing with food that starts with C, but he forgets the candles! How can they celebrate Hanukkah if they don't have candles to light?
