Description

The story of a girl who gives her firewood to an old woman she meets in the woods, who in turn gives the girl a magic pan that will fry latkes. Despite the warning that only the girl may use this gift, her brother hears the secret words that make the pan start to cook, but he doesn’t know the words to stop it, and chaos results when he cooks latkes when the girl goes out! This delightful story is illustrated with full-color pictures in the style of Russian folk art. The book also includes a latke recipe and a note on the origins of the Jewish festival of Chanukah. “Combines a classic fairy tale with a shtetl setting and a touch of ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’”.
