For those of you who love novelty books, author-illustrator Salina Yoon's "My Chanukah Playbook" (2009) is an absolutely fantastic interactive book for the holiday. Starting with a tray of wonderfully sturdy gold foil-covered coins (or "gelt") stored in the front cover, the book walks kids through participatory holiday activities, from lighting the chanukkiah (the actual name, it explains, for the specific 8-branched menorah that we light at Chanukah) to putting money in the tzedakah, or charity, box for those less fortunate. A well-constructed, beautifully written Chanukah book for preschoolers that has been a cherished part of my own personal collection for many years. âš« âš« âš« #noodlenutsclassickidlit #jewishnoodlenuts #noodlenutschanukah #mychanukahplaybook #salinayoon #littlesimon #noveltybooks #interactivebook #boardbooks #iteachpreschool #preschool #homeschoolpreschool #jewishmoms #jewish #childhoodunplugged #preschoolteacher #receptionteacher #chanukahgelt #hanukkahgelt https://www.instagram.com/p/B6WLMyknAbT/?igshid=9hu0r0thyvaq
