About this item
On the eighth night of Chanukah, Grandma Minka reads aloud a story about the meaning of the holiday to Tommy, Chuckie, Lil, Phil, and Angelica. The babies imagine themselves as the characters in the story, but then Grandma stops reading to make latkes, and the ending is left unknown. Soon they're all off to the synagogue, where Grandpa Boris is acting in the Chanukah play. The children, misunderstanding the phrase "the meaning of Chanukah," believe that an actor in the play is the "meany of Chanukah" and storm the stage to save Grandpa. How will the Rugrats get out of trouble this time? And will they ever learn the true meaning of Chanukah? This storybook is a perfect blend of silly, sweet, and educational and will make a cherished gift for children, nostalgic millennials, and anyone who's ever wondered about the true meaning of the holiday.
