Enough about Christmas! A Hanukkah Story
12/9/07
- By Anna Fader
Are you sick of all the Christmas posts? I have to admit that I've been feeling a little bit bad about it myself. Hanukkah began without so much as a wink on this site. Why? Well there's just not that much cool Hanukkah stuff going on. Until I saw this Hanukkah post over at L Magazine about The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming: A Hanukkah Story
. It's a picture book by Lemony Snicket about an irate latke looking for understanding in a world inundated with Christmas banality. I love what this reviewer said on Amazon:

Finally, a book that reinforces that Hanukah is not the Jewish Christmas and is not about presents. It is about hope in the face of being outnumbered. Here is a story about a latke in the midst of a Christmas story. It is screaming and wailing. And why shouldn't it?...As the story progresses, we learn about the story of Hanukah and the misconceptions about the latke and the holiday. A variety of popular Christmas symbols cross paths with the latke and think it is nothing more than a hash brown, a nice side meal to a Christmas ham, and more (or less). Oh, what a deep and meaningful book this is. It gets more insightful with each reading.The book looks hilarious and like the perfect way to teach kids about Hanukkah. A perfect stocking stuffer ;-) Buy it now from Amazon
