Charley and Seymour’s Hanukkah Miracle

32 pp. | Kar-Ben | October, 2024 | Trade ISBN 9788765604519 $19.99
(2) PS Illustrated by Nia Gould. It's Hanukkah, and Charley Chipmunk has pledged to bring the menorah to his celebration with his friend Seymour Squirrel, along with...something that starts with C. Carrots, a cantaloupe, and chocolate gelt all make their way into his bag. Young readers and listeners will enjoy the silliness, and possibly the knowledge that they have better memories or deduction skills than Charley. The solution Seymour suggests (don't try this at home) is reminiscent of the Hanukkah legend of the oil miracle. Illustrations in a muted palette lend a cozy feel as the friends observe the holiday and tell the story of the Maccabees.
