Chanukah at Grover's Corner (by David Grover, Holiday)
common sense media says
Warming classic and original holiday tunes.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that besides one reference to blood (not surprisingly on a song called "Blood of the Maccabees," describing the well-known Jewish legend of lovely red-spotted flowers appearing in the wake of battle), there's nothing to worry about on this music and storytelling CD. Three of the songs are in Hebrew, and there are a few original tunes thrown in with the classics.
Violence:
One song called "Blood of the Maccabbees" is about flowers that bloomed after a famous battle. The story will be familiar to most children in Jewish households, and the song isn't at all scary.

great for Jewish kids celebrating Chanukah and non-Jewish kids learning about it
Both educational and festive, it can easily become a family holiday favorite, even for families who don't celebrate Chanukah.
