With a mix of fun & fantasy, Leslea Newman offers the story of a Hanukkah dreidel with a mind of its own. On the first night of Chanukah a lucky boy receives a shiny new dreidel, but once it starts spinning, it just won¿t stop! With a mind of its own, the dreidel spins quickly across the floor, out the door, & down the street, with its excited owner & family in hot pursuit. Soon the whole city joins the chase to catch the runaway toy. Where is that dreidel heading, & will it ever stop spinning? This is one journey surely worth pursuing right up to its magical conclusion! Kyrsten Brooker¿s madly tilting, fanciful oil & cut-paper collage illustrations are wonderfully textured & full of fabulous details. ¿A wild, evocative adventure.¿
