The Three Latkes

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 2
  • Reading Level: Grade 1

Once upon a time there were three latkes, a red latke, a yellow latke and a gold latke. On the first night of Hanukkah they began talking excitedly.

When three Hanukkah latkes fight over which of them tastes the best, the winner is decided by the family cat. Which will he choose? The excited latkes can’t wait to find out, but perhaps they should be careful what they wish for!

Reviews

Kirkus Reviews

“The cat is suitably expressive. Fry up a batch and relish every morsel.” — Kirkus Reviews

Publishers Weekly

“Straightforward visual framings by Parker-Thomas, which feature crayon and pencil textures, keep the mood light even with the peremptory ending. — Publishers Weekly
