Hanukkah Bear

New ed. (1990)
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka. In this revised, newly illustrated edition of The Chanukkah Guest, ninety-seven-year-old Bubba Brayna is known for her delicious latkes but not for her eagle eyes or keen hearing. When a hungry bear stumbles into her home, she mistakes it for the rabbi and treats it like an honored guest. The silly folkloric setup plays out well in the vivacious acrylic illustrations. Latke recipe appended.
