Runaway Dreidel!

by Leslea Newman

Runaway Dreidel! Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A fantastical Chanukah journey

"'Twas the first night of Chanukah and on the fifth floor,

There was holiday hustling and bustling galore . . .

Grandma was slicing up two chocolate babkas,

Grandpa was grating potatoes for latkes."

On the first night of Chanukah a lucky boy receives a shiny new dreidel, but once it starts spinning it just won’t stop! With a mind of its own, the dreidel spins quickly across the floor, out the door, and on down the street, with its excited owner and family in hot pursuit. Soon the whole city joins the chase to catch the runaway toy. Where is that dreidel heading, and will it ever stop spinning? This is one journey worth pursuing right up to its magical conclusion!

Synopsis:

A magical dreidel adventure.

Synopsis:

When a dreidel that takes off through a boys living room, the boy—and readers—are taken on a runaway adventure through city streets and along country roads, where modern times and history blend together in magical ways. This celebration of one of Chanukahs most fun traditions—spinning the dreidel—is sure to be a welcome addition to this healthy holiday category.
