In this delightful story, the author incorporates facts about Hanukkah, life in Alaska, and the northern lights as a little girl tries to solve the problem of an intransigent moose camped out next to her favorite swing.
Things are different in Alaska. Daylight in winter is very short, there are moose, and it snows...a lot. When one particular moose camps out in a little girl’s backyard, she is not happy. She tries everything to lure the moose away, but nothing works. It looks like the stubborn moose is there to stay. Then on the last night of Hanukkah, something magical happens. Under the spectacular northern lights of the season, the little girl finds a solution to her dilemma. What could possibly make a big moose move? Check out this holiday picture book and find out!

Hanukkan in Alaska is about a young girl who is having a rough Hannukah. There's a moose trying to break her swing, and it's freezing cold. Things look up a bit when her dad takes her out in the snow to see the Northern Lights.
I thought this book was a bit al over the place. It bounced between the moose, Hannukah, and the cold with little rhythm.

A girl in Alaska lights Hanukkah candles with her parents, but worries about the moose that has been hanging out around their house - she's worried it will get its antlers caught in her tree swing and rip it down. When her father takes her outside to see the Northern Lights (Aurora borealis), she comes up with the idea of tempting the moose away with a trail of latkes. (The moose goes for this, even though it previously ignored apples, carrots, and spinach.)… (meer)
