I really enjoyed this book. The History of Chanukkah is given then you begin with Night 1 of 8. I read a story per night this Hanukkah. My favorite story was on Night 6. They are mostly historical fiction stories that relate to Hanukkah. The book also has sheet music with Hebrew, Yiddish, and English lyrics. There is a section after the 8th night that gives a history of Jewish story telling. It encourages the reader to write or tell stories of family etc. Then there is a glossary. There are Hebrew and Yiddish words in transliteration in the stories. The glossary is a great resource.

Peninah Schram is one of the great Jewish storytellers of our time. These stories range from traditional to original and are based in every Jewish culture. It's intended for family use, with suggestions for holiday celebration and an appendix with music to sing-along to. The main flaw with this is that, despite the large book layout, this is really more of a chapter book inside. The stories are long (for probably an 8 or 9 year old to read by themselves, or to be read to a patient 5 or 6 year old) and unillustrated.
