Jennifer,
Two of my favorite Hanukkah books are Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins by
Eric Kimmel and The Tie-Man's Miracle by Steven Schnur.
Herschel is a great read-aloud for third or fourth grades. My school is a
4th - 8th grade middle school, and I read Herschel for my fourth graders
every other year. Trina Schart Hyman got a Caldecott Honor for her
illustrations, and the story of how Hershel outwits the goblins haunting
the old synagogue in order to save Hanukkah is a winner with the kids.
Tie-Man is a more serious book, good for advanced fifth or sixth grades.
It deals with a young Jewish boy learning something of the Holocaust from a
door-to-door tie salesman on the last night of Hanukkah. Despite this
premise it has a very uplifting ending. You may have to read through it
several times before you present it to avoid choking up while reading to
the kids.
Hope this helps.
