Larry's Latkes

32 pp. | Behrman/Apples & Honey | October, 2021 | Trade ISBN 978-1-68115-565-4 $17.95
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Ben Whitehouse. Food-truck owner Big Larry (an alligator) has always sold latkes made from Grandma Golda Gator's recipe, but this year he decides to try new flavors. The farmers' market provides options, but his peach-, turnip-, and Camembert-based latkes are each missing a key ingredient. Never fear: he comes to his senses, and the results are a delicious innovation in fusion dining. A well-metered text and friendly, cartoonish digital illustrations make for an inviting story of mixing old and new. Back matter gives brief, miracle-focused information about the holiday as well as a recipe for latkes--with fresh rainbow salsa.
