A Horse for Hanukkah Myriam Halberstam, Nancy Cote 9783981382518 Books Reviews
My granddaughter giggled throughout this book. She was enchanted by the idea of a real horse in her bedroom. I will also give it as a gift to my friend's grandchildren as it is beautiful bound book.
This is a beautifully illustrated children's book with a wonderful little story about a child who wishes for a horse as a Hanukah gift.
Hannah's gift horse, Golda, speaks collaged-letter Hebrew....causes all kinds of problems......and then turns out to be a dream (nightmare?).
In A Horse for Hanukkah, by Myriam Halberstam, Hannah miraculously gets the horse she has always wanted as a gift for Hanukkah. But the challenges of living with a horse in a cramped apartment soon become apparent, and small whimsical episodes of chaos quickly ensue. Latkes, menorahs and dreidels all become a part of the mess, and the family's Hanukkah celebration is soon in turmoil.
I love that Golda the horse speaks Ivrit--Hebrew. When Grandma shows up, she says `Oy vey', so Yiddish is still alive and well, too. I also enjoyed Nancy Cote's charming They give Golda personality and warmth, and I loved seeing the horse leap gently across the front cover, wearing ballet ribbons on her hooves.
A couple of details that troubled me The gift of `poop' that Goldie delivers is something that bothered my delicate sensibilities, especially since the reader never does find out if and how it got cleaned up. I also found the transition from the dream world (Goldie the horse was just a dream. Sigh.) to real-life slightly abrupt.
But combining the realization of many a young girls dream to actually get that horse they've always wanted, and then to have it speak Hebrew- what a fun concept! A Horse for Hanukkah is a welcome addition to any collection of Hanukkah stories, and I recommend it for anyone looking for a new way to share our classic traditions.
Rating 4 out of 5.

Although this book has a nice story, there is one part where the main character has a dream that the horse has had a bowel movement in her bedroom and the room smells from the feces. I would really like to return this book.
