(2) K-3 Illustrated by Kris Easler. It's Hanukkah, and the Menashe family is stuck at home during a blizzard in this picture-book reissue, with new illustrations and an updated text. The family is out of apples, and their potatoes are buried under the snow. As the snow keeps falling throughout the holiday and the lack of food becomes more serious, a cat and then a dog arrive in need of help--and ultimately lead the family to discoveries that feel miraculous...and are definitely delicious. The tale of generosity rewarded draws readers (and listeners) in with a storyteller's cadence, and the mixed-media illustrations show deep-blue winter nights and warm, glowing family scenes. Back matter gives more information about various elements of Hanukkah.

But this is Myron, Martin's twin brother--or so he says. Zany adventures continue with the eccentric sitter(s) as the boys investigate this mysterious twist.
