this is also off topic and in response to your comments in b0st0n...I am part Jewish (I want to start getting more involved with this part of me) and I've been assigned to teach my after school kids a half lesson about hanukkah since I am the one that knows the most about it.
I have bought some dreidles, am going to make latkes, I even have some songs about hannukkah. But I want to teach them the story of hanukkah (without it seeming like we are teaching religious beliefs or anything) and this is where I am lost...Do you have any recommendations on books to get for kids in grades 3-5 about hanukkah? Better yet, do you have any books I could possibly borrow? Or, and this is a huge long shot, but would you be willing to volunteer on wednesday the 21st any time from 4-6 in East Boston to tell the story and answer questions?

I'll appreciate any help I can get.
