Kugel for Hanukkah?
(eBook)
Description
Kar-Ben Read-Aloud eBooks with Audio combine professional narration and text highlighting to bring eBooks to life! As each of Hanukkah's first seven nights brings an unusual new present to a little girl, the mystery deepens. While the gifts grandma receives add up to a delicious Hanukkah treat, her granddaughter's gifts don't seem to make much sense. Until the eighth night they finally do! "Kugel for Hanukkah?" by Gretchen M. Everin. Illustrated by Rebecca Ashdown. (Kar-Ben Publishing) A wide-eyed animal-loving young girl celebrates Hanukkah with her family, hoping for the gift of a pet, such as a puppy, kitten, bird or hamster. Instead, on the first night, she receives a hard metal lamp. On the second night, she gets a "strange kind of thermometer." On the third night, she gets a squirty spray bottle. Things are becoming confusing! To add to the puzzlement, her grandma is receiving odd gifts, as well: chocolate chips, cinnamon sticks, a tiny bottle of vanilla and candied cranberries. As the clues grow, children will have fun trying to guess what the eighth night will bring. For Grandma, it turns out to be the ingredients for a family favorite holiday treat: Cranberry Chocolate Chip Hanukkah Kugel. (Recipe included.) By the last night, the delighted little girl has received all she needs for her new pet - an unexpected iguana! There is a lot to this simple story for young children. Besides the eight candles, there are the eight different gifts to count, along with eight different kinds of latkes served (potato, carrot, turnip, beet, etc.) The illustrations are charming and reflect a newer trend in Jewish children's books regarding realistic depictions of grandparents. Here, Grandma is not sporting gray hair or wearing pearls and a dress, but appears to be a slim, hip-looking 60-something with a purple-striped turtleneck and leggings. All the male characters are wearing kippot, which also serves as a teachable moment in many homes. A fun and appealing new Hanukkah story to share with animal-loving children.

Each night, the mystery deepens for the young girl with gifts of a bowl, spray bottle and thermometer. On the last night, the doorbell rings with a special delivery - a pet iguana. She names her iguana Kugel." - The Detroit Jewish News "Follow this spunky first-person narrator as she celebrates the eight nights of Hanukkah with extended family. Each night she notices what Grandma receives - 'a shiny baking dish,' 'a teeny tiny bottle of vanilla' - and hopes her present might prove to be a pet, maybe a turtle with a shiny shell or a teeny tiny hamster. Instead, her gifts are a metal lamp, a ceramic bowl and an odd plant. To help assuage the little girl's disappointment, Grandma asks for her help in creating a special dish from all the culinary gifts. No sooner is the yummy kugel pulled from the oven than the doorbell rings - and there is a pet no one could have imagined! This playful Hanukkah tale warrants praise for two things in particular: a mystery pet adopted from the animal shelter and a modern Grandma who defies ageist stereotypes with her chic haircut and sparkly scarf." - Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2019/12/02/books-season-enjoy-with-your-little-ones/ 10 great holiday-season books to enjoy with your little ones The season of all seasons is upon us.
