Reviews
"Successful on every level, this holiday favorite is sure to be popular with anyone who appreciates a little humor with their holidays."--School Library Journal

"a good addition to the holiday shelf"--Booklist

"The now-classic tale's humor still fosters eye-rolling laughter, with Wohnoutka's illustrations as rib-tickling complement."--Kirkus Reviews

"The silliness of the folkloric setup plays out well in the vivacious acrylic illustrations with nary a rough edge in sight."--The Horn Book

"Bubba's remarkable patience as she puts up with the none-too-scary bear's gruffness will amuse readers as they prepare for their own Hanukkah celebrations."--Publishers Weekly
