The Runaway Latkes

32 pp. | Whitman | September, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-7176-8 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Paul Yalowitz. This variant on the peripatetic gingerbread man features three potato pancakes that take to the road. Rebecca, who was making the latkes for the synagogue's Hanukkah party, chases them down, along with the rabbi, cantor, and others. The lively cumulative text is accompanied by bland illustrations with muted color. A recipe for latkes is appended.
