Weekly Trip to the Library
“The Dreidel that Wouldn’t Spin: A Toyshop Tale of Hanukkah” is a folklore-inspired tale. In this story, a magical dreidel just won’t spin for greedy, spoiled children. The shopkeeper wonders: will it spin for another child — one who carries the true spirit of Hanukkah in his heart? “The Dreidel that Wouldn’t Spin” includes a useful appendix that explains Hanukkah, and how to play the dreidel game.
“The Dreidel that Wouldn’t Spin” is a lovely book choice for those wishing to circumvent the more commercial aspects of the holiday. The moral of this story: the miracle of Hanukkah cannot be bought.
After reading “The Dreidel that Wouldn’t Spin” have the kids make their own dreidel and play the game with them. Just buy this Craft-A-Dreidel kit for the kids to make their own dreidels.
