(3) K-3 The people of Chelm (a city of fools) receive a giant menorah from a nearby mayor. The townspeople's plans to thank him never quite work out, which makes for a frustrating Hanukkah--until young Yitzi finds a simple, festive solution. The amusing, conversational storytelling style invites readers to settle in; wildly bright watercolor monoprints reflect the Chelmites' confusion and sense of wonder.
