Elmo's Little Dreidel (Sesame Street)

Illustrated by Christopher Moroney
What's a dreidel? Elmo wants to know! He finds out as he celebrates the first night of Hanukkah with a friend's family. He watches Gil, Susie, and their parents light the menorah and joins in as they sing Hanukkah songs. After supper he learns to play dreidel, the traditional Hanukkah spin-the-top game. And, at the end of the evening, Elmo gets his first Hanukkah gift—his very own little dreidel! This sturdy board book introduces toddlers to the traditions of the Jewish Festival of Lights and even teaches them how to play dreidel themselves!
Naomi Kleinberg is a children’s book editor and the author of many children’s books. She lives in New York City in an apartment so filled with books that there’s barely enough room for her family. By odd coincidence, her favorite foods—apples, avocados, and arugula—all begin with the letter A. View titles by Naomi Kleinberg
