Way Too Many Latkes: A Hanukkah in Chelm

32 pp. | Kar-Ben | August, 2017 | Library ISBN 978-1-5124-2092-0 $17.99 | Paper ISBN 978-1-5124-2093-7 $7.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Aleksandar Zolotic. When Faigel forgets how to make potato pancakes for Hanukkah, the hungry rabbi's advice leads to more latkes than any one person can eat. They solve the problem by inviting all the villagers to celebrate together. The original tale reads like a traditional Chelm story; the illustrations, which set the tale in what looks like early-twentieth-century Eastern Europe, have a more modern Disney-cartoon vibe.
