Meet the Latkes

40 pp. | Viking | October, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-451-47912-9 $17.99
(2) K-3 A family of anthropomorphized latkes decorates the house, spins dreidels, and quibbles over spelling the holiday's name. Then Grandpa tells the story of Hanukkah/Chanukah/CHHanukah, and things get really kooky. Amid frenetic silliness, there's helpful information: dog Applesauce's speech-bubble interjections set everyone straight. Illustrations of goggle-eyed potato pancakes are expectedly cartoonish; images of, say, "tater tyrants" shooting lasers are appropriately childlike. An absurd mishmash that miraculously works. Glos.
