Charley and Seymour's Hanukkah Miracle
Best friends Charley Chipmunk and Seymour Squirrel are planning their Hanukkah celebration. “I’ll fry the latkes, and you bring the menorah and the candles,” Seymour suggests.
But when Hanukkah arrives Charley can’t remember what he is supposed to bring. He knows it started with the letter C. Was it cantaloupe? Carrots? Cookies? Charley’s backpack is overflowing with food that starts with C, but he forgets the candles! How can they celebrate Hanukkah if they don’t have candles to light?

Reviews
The Horn Book Magazine
Young readers and listeners will enjoy the silliness, and possibly the knowledge that they have better memories or deduction skills than Charley. The solution Seymour suggests (don’t try this at home) is reminiscent of the Hanukkah legend of the oil miracle.
