(2) K-3 Illustrated by David Slonim. In this original Hanukkah tale, Moishe the milkman is given a miraculous frying pan with which he can feed latkes to the entire impoverished population of the village of Wishniak. Sharp-tongued Baila resents her husband's generosity and attempts to work the magic pan's miracles for her own ends. Melmed's tale traces Baila's transformation, but it is Slonim's art that portrays a soul reborn.
