The Golem's Latkes by Eric A Kimmel
On the first night of Hanukkah, Rabbi Judah has too much to do and too little time to do it. Before the rabbi leaves to visit the emperor, he tells his housemaid Basha that she can ask the golem to help. While the golem makes latkes, Basha decides to visit a friend. Basha is having so much fun with her friend, she doesn’t realize that latkes are pouring out of the rabbi’s house, sending people running! Will Rabbi Judah come up with a solution to control the golem before it’s too late? Illustrated with lively acrylic on wood, the book also includes an Author’s Note about the tale’s origins.
“Kimmel’s storytelling is effective in its use of suspense, humor, trope, and repetition, making a fine read-aloud holiday treat” —Kirkus Reviews “This lively picture book blends the Jewish legend with the story of the Sorcerer's Apprentice.” —Booklist “Kimmel has the pacing of a comic, and the illustrations by Jasinski (The Heart's Language) are richly detailed.” —Publishers Weekly
