A cat and dog create a Hanukkah miracle, just in the nick of time in this updated reissue of the beloved holiday classic.
A perfect Hanukkah story about kindess, perfect for 3 to 7 year olds and anyone searching for a sweet holiday story. The Menashes love latkes and applesauce during Hanukkah. But a blizzard begins and erases any hope that they'll harvest potatoes and apples in time.

It turns out that the dog--Latke--and the cat--Applesauce--save the day.Before Fran Manushkin became a writer, she worked as an editorial assistant at Harper & Row with Ursula Nordstrom and Charlotte Zolotow.
