A magical frying pan creates havoc in this “original Hanukkah story that has the sound and feel of a traditional folktale” (Booklist). In the little village of Wishniak, Moishe the mailman is known for his generosity and good heart. The only one who doesn’t appreciate him is his wife, Baila. How can they afford to make latkes when he keeps giving and giving to everyone else? Then Moishe receives a gift himself—a pan that magically produces all the latkes anyone could wish for. . . . enough to feed the whole village! But Moishe is supposed to be the only one who can use the miraculous pan. When Baila tries to use it for her own benefit, she cooks up some big trouble—in this beautifully illustrated holiday story featuring a visiting rabbi, a talking cow, lots of laughter, and some delicious fried pancakes. “This entertainingly illustrated tale unwinds itself and reveals the meaning of Hanukkah.” —The New York Times
