About
Faigel makes the best Hanukkah latkes in Chelm, but somehow, this year she's forgotten how to make them! She sends her husband, Shmuel, to ask the rabbi for help. And in Chelm, the village of fools-oy vey!-this becomes a recipe for disaster!

Reviews
"Glaser leavens the story with lots of performance-ready, Yiddish-punctuated dialogue ('The rabbi?' Faigel gripes. 'What does he know about making latkes? Bupkes!'), and Zolotic's characters have a vivid presence and energy reminiscent of animated films."
Publishers Weekly
"At the end of this amusing tale, Faigel has made way too many latkes. What to do? Why, share them with everyone in Chelm, of course... The expressive artwork by...Aleksandar Zolotic jumps off the page. ... The muted greens, browns, and oranges enhance the atmosphere of an idealized shtetl life. Can we ever have too many Hanukkah and/or Chelm stories? Perhaps not."
