Young Reading Series 2
The story of Hanukkah
Zanna Davidson has written over fifty books for children, both non-fiction and fiction. Her stories for children include the Fairy Ponies, Fairy Unicorns and Billy and the Mini Monsters series for Usborne. She lives in the countryside in a cottage on the edge of some deep, dark woods with two small boys and her scruffy black dog, Fred.
Religion
I knew nothing about Hanukkah but now I know. It is a good book and it gave me information about Jews and their religion. So if you are interested in religion then you should read itπ.
