Description
Lucy Latke's family is just like yours or mine. Except that they're potato pancakes. And also, they are completely clueless. After lighting the menorah and gobbling the gelt, Grandpa Latke tells everyone the Hanukkah story, complete with mighty Mega Bees who use a giant dreidel to fight against the evil alien potatoes from Planet Chhh. It's up to the Latke family dog to set the record straight. (To start with, they were Maccabees, not Mega Bees...) But he'll have to get the rest of the Latkes to listen to him first!

Nearly a century later, Random House is part of Penguin Random House, owned by Germany's Bertelsmann, and its children's list is home to Dr. Seuss. That shows up on ModernTribe's shelf: Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Hanukkah Party! and the PAW Patrol counting book Happy Hanukkah, Pups!, both from Random House Books for Young Readers. Alongside them sit Hanukkah and Jewish-values titles from the wider Penguin Random House family, including Suzy Ultman's I Like Your Chutzpah and It's a Mitzvah! board books and The Very Hungry Caterpillar's 8 Nights of Chanukah.
