Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Ages 2-4. In a joyful Hanukkah version of "The Gingerbread Man," Kimmelman tells of three big, round latkes, crisp and brown, that jump out of the pan and roll off to see the town. Children will enjoy the mischievous cumulative tale: the young cook, Rebecca, chases the singing latkes; then the rabbi chases the latkes and Rebecca chases the rabbi, who chases the cantor, who chases the mayor, who chases the police . . . The ending, in which the crisp latkes jump into an applesauce river, is certainly contrived, but the singing latkes' defiant rhyme will have kids joining in. Yalowitz's energetic illustrations, with simple shapes and dancing rhythm, capture the slapstick of the chase story. And, of course, there's a recipe on the last page. Hazel Rochman
