My First Hanukkah Board Book (My 1st Board Books)

The My First Board series is an exciting collection of first books for preschool children containing carefully chosen titles that promote early learning and encourage young readers to explore the world of words.

Using the same educational, eye-catching format as Dorling Kindersley's other My First books, this chunky little board book provides an explanation of Hanukkah appropriate for preschoolers. From the origin of the holiday to musical notation for a favorite Hanukkah song to a description of some of the yummy foods eaten during the festivities, My First Hanukkah Board Book packs a whole lot in a small package. In addition to divulging the details of the Festival of Lights, the book helps children develop vocabulary, early literacy, and counting skills ("How many candles are lit on these menorahs?"), and practice their shape and color identification skills. Children can tell their own stories based on the bright, colorful photographs of the rituals, games, and foods of the holiday, or they can read along with their parents as they begin the preparations for Hanukkah.

Some of the other popular My First titles include My First Bible Board Book, My First Word Board Book, and My First Animal Board Book. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter
