Product Description Sammy Spider and his buddy Josh are back in their third holiday board book! This time Sammy is enjoying the Hanukkah celebration with his human while also learning about colors. A companion to Sammy Spider's Passover Shapes and Sammy Spider's First Book of Jewish Holidays. Review "Sammy Spider does double duty in these two colorful board books by introducing the youngest of readers to Jewish holiday customs, while reinforcing concepts of colors and shapes. In Sammy Spider’s Hanukkah Colors, Sammy watches the Shapiro family carrying out Hanukkah traditions, such as lighting the yellow menorah, eating brown latkes, and spinning a purple dreidel. In Sammy Spider’s Passover Shapes, as the Shapiros prepare for the holiday, Sammy spins webs of different shapes that mimic the shapes he sees in Passover: a square like a piece of matzah, a circle like the seder plate, and triangles like the afikomen. Sammy’s final product reveals itself as a Star of David. The spare text along with Kahn’s distinct, collaged illustrations will inform and delight, and are sure to become staples for the youngest readers." - Association of Jewish Libraries "Sammy Spider and his buddy, Josh, are back for another holiday. Sammy enjoys the holiday customs while learning about basic shapes and colors during the Shapiro family celebration." - Cleveland Jewish News Sammy Spider’s Hanukkah Colors by Sylvia Rouss, illustrated by Katherine Janus Kahn. It’s Sammy Spider. It’s a board book. What else do you need to know? (Other than the fact that Mr. Shapiro has a great ’70s pornstache, and how did I never notice?) (Ages 0-2) - Tablet Magazine "Sammy Spider and his friend Josh are back for their third holiday board book. Sammy watches from his web as Mrs. Shapiro lights the menorah. Then, they eat latkes and spin dreidels while enjoying the holiday customs." - Jewish Herald-Voice
