Kids will love curling up with this lovable story of finding friends. The mixed media illustrations are comforting and warm. A touching story of friendship, the rhyme is set to the rhythm of the original Clement Moore poem you’ll fall right into it as you read it out loud. When he drops Mouse off, he comforts a disappointed Mouse by reminding him that Christmas isn’t over yet… and Mouse has to discover his own gift. The lonely mouse lives in a grandfather clock and wishes for a friend to give presents to… when who should land on his roof but old Saint Nick and his reindeer, forced down during a storm! The Mouse happily offers to guide Santa on his way, and spends a happy Christmas Eve as Santa’s helper. Nicholas/’Twas the Night Before Christmas stars a mouse who desperately wants a friend. This sweet take on the classic A Visit from St. Mouse’s Night Before Christmas, by Tracey Corderoy/Illustrated by Sarah Massini, (Oct. My only question: when do we get a picture book adaptation of Jean Shepherd’s A Christmas Story? Come ON! Absolutely wonderful, and perfect for a Pop Culture storytime (psst… Quirk publishes picture books about Home Alone 1 and Home Alone 2) along with classics like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, and so many more. Endpapers bookend the film, showing Buddy at the beginning and end of his journey, and the art is so cheery and colorful, you won’t help but want to read this again and again.

The story of Buddy the Elf, the human raised by Santa’s elves, who goes to find his dad in crazy New York City and ends up saving Christmas is adorably rendered here with cartoon artwork and a mix of narration and word balloons, usually capturing some of the best movie moments. The newest? This year’s Elf, adapted from the hilarious 2003 movie starring Will Ferrell as Buddy the Elf. Quirk Books has the best in pop culture books for kids and I am here for it.

I’m very excited because Kalaniot Books, The Littlest Candle‘s publisher, is a new imprint that will publish books for children on Jewish culture and history.


It’s got a wonderful message that kids will love to hear. Add this to your holiday reading every year, whether you celebrate Hanukkah or another seasonal holiday. Back matter has more to learn about Hanukkah, including the blessings to light the menorah by. Most of the artwork revolves around the crayons, but there are people in here, too a family celebrates the season together with the brightly lit menorah burning in the background. The cartoony artwork will appeal to all kids, and reminded me of The Day the Crayons Quit. Soft, cheerful colors and gentle storytelling make this a wonderful Hanukkah story with a great message: “Hanukkah is a reminder that sometimes, even when you are small, you are still capable of miracles”. Waxy, the wisest candle, recounts the story of Hanukkah and the importance of each candle in the menorah, and decides to make Little Flicker his helper candle: the shamash. Little Flicker is always the first candle to support his friends, whether it’s through cleaning up the hard to reach areas of the box, or making sure the others have enough to eat. All except Flicker, the smallest candle in the box, that is. Hanukkah is coming! The candles are so excited! Who will be the first candle on the menorah this year? The candles all discuss among themselves why each should be the first candle. The Littlest Candle: A Hanukkah Story, by Rabbis Kerry & Jesse Olitzky/Illustrated by Jen Kostman, (June 2020, Kalaniot Books), $17.99, ISBN: 978-0-998 I got Hanukkah books, I got Christmas books, I got winter books, I got all the books: I’m just posting a few at a time, to keep the thrill of the season alive.
