This 2016 reprint edition has a different cover and includes the statement "National Geographic kids." The content on the inside of the book including text, photographs, and resources are exactly the same as the 2006 edition.
Summary
This offering from the Holidays around the World series introduces children to the Jewish Festival of Lights. Heiligman recounts the holiday's history and origins and describes how it is celebrated today--with candles, special foods such as potato latkes, and games such as dreidel. The main text is succinct and appropriate for reading aloud.
