Hear the Dreidel Songs! Happy Hanukah! Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story for ages 6-10
Hear the Dreidel Songs!
Happy Hanukah!
InKatie & Kimble: A Ghost Story, Book 1 in the Katie & Kimble
series, Kimble teaches Katie how to play dreidel.
Dreidel is a game that Jewish children play during Hanukah.
Dreidels
come in many sizes with many different designs and colors. The dreidel
pictured on the left is called a Noah's Ark dreidel because the
pictures tell the story of Noah's Ark. It was painted by an artist
named Yair Emanuel. It's got a little stand to hold it up.
The
dreidel on the right is really something amazing to see. It's very big
- 10 inches high, in fact – and it's a plush toy! I thought that was
pretty interesting. I don't suppose you can actually play dreidel with
such a big dreidel, but it might be comfy to keep on your bed!
In Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story,
you learn how to play dreidel at the same time that Kimble teaches
Katie how to play. However, you might not know how to pronounce the
letters on the dreidel. I wanted Katie & Kimble readers to be able
to hear how to say the Hebrew letters. So, I made up a list of two
different dreidel songs from iTunes so you
can hear free samples. In the first Dreidel Song, in the chorus, they
sing all the different letters on the dreidel.
Kenny Ellis sings his hit single from his Hanukkah Swings! Album on Favored Nations Records. Check out: www.kennyellis.com
Interesting Fact:
Hanukah is sometimes spelled in different ways! You might see it like
this, with 2 k's–Hanukkah–or you might see it like this, with a
c–Chanukah!

Katie & Kimble Go Green! (Katie & Kimble: The Magic Wish, for ages 6-10)
Katie & Kimble Go Green!
You might not notice how “green” the Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story chapter book series is until you get to the second book, Katie & Kimble: The Magic Wish.
In the second Katie & Kimble
book, we discover that the Russell family is trying to eat healthier
foods. Can you think of an example? That’s right—they only have pizza
on special occasions and they don’t eat much red meat anymore.
Katie’s
family also cares about the earth and about all living things, like
trees. For example, when Katie’s dad does the grocery shopping, he
takes cloth bags with him. No paper or plastic for him! And when he
puts up a swing on the old oak tree in the backyard, he’s very careful
not to harm the tree and he doesn’t use any nails at all.
Mr. Russell also shows how much he cares about the earth when he sings one of his favorite songs in Katie & Kimble: The Magic Wish. It’s called “For the Beauty of the Earth.” It’s a beautiful old hymn. You can listen to free samples of the song here.

In Katie & Kimble: The Magic Wish, Mr. Russell Sings!
InKatie & Kimble: The Magic Wish, Book 2 in the Katie & Kimble
series (290L), you will discover that Katie's dad, Mr. Russell, likes to sing!
He sings loudly and he sings well. In fact, he likes to sing when he
feels full of joy!
The song that Mr. Russell sings is called “For the Beauty of the
Earth.” It's a beautiful old hymn – one of my favorites. You will
notice, if you send a free Katie & Kimble e-card, that you can
choose this song. Listen here.
I wanted Katie & Kimble readers to be able to hear this beautiful
song with the words. So, I made up a list of songs from iTunes so you
can hear free samples.
The first version of the song is from the 1994 movie Little Women,
a story about four sisters growing up together 150 years ago. This version has
just two voices singing with no music. It is very plain and sweet.
The second version of the song is sung by a group of sisters called
BarlowGirl. This is an amazing and beautiful arrangement. It almost
sounds like a Christmas carol. This might be considered odd since this
song is not a Christmas song. But, I sure do enjoy listening to the
BarlowGirl version. It's very modern.
The third version of the song is sung by the St. John's Children's
Choir. It's almost like a dream. It starts out with one child singing
alone. Then more children join in on the second verse. This version
sounds more like church music, with an organ playing in the background.
All three of these versions are quite different. And yet, they are all
the same song! Click below to hear the free iTunes samples.
