Today on Christmas Day Hanukkah, the Jewish celebration of light begins. The festival all Jewish children look forward to! We sit comfortably on the couch, nice and warm by the fireside, and we use the opportunity to read a lovely picture book about Hanukkah to the little monsters. Although they still remember what the Hanukkah celebration is, from previous years. ;))
This is how the story begins... An old bear trudges through the snow. He's hungry and it's cold! Then he smells something nice and he follows his nose. When he bangs on the door where the wonderful smell comes from, the door opens immediately.
A sweet grandmother named Bubba Rayna is baking delicious Latkes (potato pancakes). Now this grandmother is a bit older and she no longer hears or sees so well... what do you think happened? Bubba Rayna lets the bear in and says to him: Good evening Rabbi! In this fun picture book, a funny, sweet Hanukkah Classic from 1988, you can read how this story ends.
