Reudor's the Doodle Family Hanukkah ; [forward by Laura Schlessinger].

Reudor Β· 1996
88/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Israeli cartoonist Reudor takes two Doodle Family characters back in time to the Maccabean revolt against the Seleucid Greeks, then pairs that adventure with real educational content: menorah-lighting instructions, Hebrew and English prayers, and Hanukkah games. For Jewish families looking for a holiday book that combines entertainment with genuine religious education, the practical sections add real value. The honest caveat is that at least one professional reviewer found the cartoon-strip adventure and the factual spreads poorly integrated, and the time-travel framing could muddy historical accuracy for younger children. Critical coverage is minimal, so the quality picture is incomplete. Families who value the foreword by Dr. Laura Schlessinger will find the book aligned with traditional Jewish family observance; the content itself is appropriate for the five-to-ten age range.
