One of the best books for Hanukkah!

Interesting story. My 9 year old was intrigued and it led to a good discussion about grandparents.

Love this and would love to recommend to others. I have plans to use repeatedly!

Charming story, wonderful, warm, original illustrations. This is the type of book to snuggle up with share with your children, grandchildren.

I purchased this book for my children. I've read it to my three year old. She did enjoy it although, she doesn't yet understand it. I'm sure she will some day. I plan to continue reading Bubbie And Zadie Come to My House to my children for many Hanukkahs to come. I just love this book!

Please note the 'Julian' in 'Julian's brightly colored pictures' cited in the review by Publishers Weekly refers to artist Claudia Julian, whose original illustrations were published in the first edition of 'Bubbie And Zadie Come to My House' (1985, Robert I Fine, New York). The original edition of this book is also available on Amazon.com.

We got this as a gift for our kids, but won't be making it a tradition in our house. And we don't have a Channukah bush, either. Bubbie and Zaidie are Santa Claus in a beard and dress.I am happy to let my kids know about the traditions of other religions, but those traditions should be associated with the appropriate holidays. Channukah has enough of its own traditions, such as lighting the menorah, dreidel, latkes, sufganiyot, and the story of the miracle that God gave us when He helped the Maccabees defeat the Greeks and rededicate the Temple.And by the way, Bubbe and Zaide are YIDDISH words, not Hebrew, as this book claims.
