This is the second book of the series/theme that I have read。 I absolutely love combining the topics of science and holidays。 It makes it fun and educational。 This book is perfect for a story time with an activity。 You can buy a dreidel or make one (either functional or just coloring) to pair with reading。
April Gray,
Such a great little book! Not only do littles learn about Hanukkah, but they learn about angular momentum using a spinning dreidel。 The language is clear and simple, but doesn't talk down to kids (or their adults)。 The engaging, colorful illustrations make this interesting to look at for toddlers, and the will help the concepts stick in young minds。 A fun, inclusive addition to any youngster's book collection!#BabyLovesAngularMomentumonHanukkah #NetGalley Such a great little book!

Jo,
Angular momentum explained to a baby。 No, maybe not exactly a baby, but more likely a curious child。 Explained simply what angular momentum is, kids will have an example of it on a dreidel (a Jewish spinning top) played on Hanukkah。 But it's OK if Baby doesn't understand much, we still can play with it。 Angular momentum explained to a baby。 No, maybe not exactly a baby, but more likely a curious child。 Explained simply what angular momentum is, kids will have an example of it on a dreidel (a Jewish spinning top) played on Hanukkah。 But it's OK if Baby doesn't understand much, we still can play with it。 。。。more
Christine,
This would be a great classroom read about aloud about Hanukah。 Also, for a science class and how momentum works through the example of a dreidel。 The pictures are so nicely illustrated and you feel like you are with the kids learning about these topics。
Jenn Adams,
Love this series。 Tying Hanukkah and the dreidel in with learning about physics of motion was a clever pairing。 This was very well-written and had fun illustrations of baby with his friends。Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for my honest review。
Sally,
Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book。I am a big fan of these board books。 Such a great idea and children are never to young to start understanding the laws of physics。 This book opens a discussion between reader and child, in this case, angular momentum at Hanukkah。 It considers the child by creating a story about what happens when you spin a dreidel and why it slows down and wobbles。 As well as the dreidel, the book talks about lightin Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book。I am a big fan of these board books。 Such a great idea and children are never to young to start understanding the laws of physics。 This book opens a discussion between reader and child, in this case, angular momentum at Hanukkah。 It considers the child by creating a story about what happens when you spin a dreidel and why it slows down and wobbles。 As well as the dreidel, the book talks about lighting the candles and celebrating Hanukkah。Bright bold and cheerful illustrations by Irene Chan help to keep the child happy and engaged and it is a joy to read out loud。Angular momentum itself may be a bit too complicated for baby to make a connection with, but if they have a dreidel or spinning wheel, they can join in and that is what the book encourages the readers to do。 。。。more
Helena#bookdreamer,
Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review。 I loved this storybook for toddlers。 With bright pictures and simple sentences toddlers can learn about Hanukkah and how a Dreidel spins。 A definite buy for my curious 5 year old son!
Georgia,
I was given an ARC of this title courtesy of #netgalley, Ruth Spiro and Charlesbridge publishers in return for an honest review。Like other books in the series, this book is pitched for a 5-6 year old to be able to read for themselves。 The illustrations are pitched far younger。 I wasn't a fan of this title as it didn't really explain what angular momentum was and even I came away with questions。 It touched more on Hannukah than the series has done with other religions to some extent but not any m I was given an ARC of this title courtesy of #netgalley, Ruth Spiro and Charlesbridge publishers in return for an honest review。Like other books in the series, this book is pitched for a 5-6 year old to be able to read for themselves。 The illustrations are pitched far younger。 I wasn't a fan of this title as it didn't really explain what angular momentum was and even I came away with questions。 It touched more on Hannukah than the series has done with other religions to some extent but not any major key facts。I think the title fails to deliver to expectations and as a result, I can only award a below average 2/5 stars。 。。。more
