A Confused Hanukkah: An Original Story of Chelm

40 pp. | Dutton | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-525-46969-9 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by S. D. Schindler. The villagers of Chelm can't recall how to celebrate Hanukkah. They send foolish Yossel to nearby Tevka (or so they think) for information about "the coming holiday," and he returns with instructions to trim a tree and dress a fat man in a suit. This funny story, populated with bickering elders and heart-wise simpletons, features subdued but amusing illustrations set in the Old World.
