A cat and dog create a Hanukkah miracle, just in the nick of time in this updated reissue of the beloved holiday classic. A perfect Hanukkah story about kindess, perfect for 3 to 7 year olds and anyone searching for a sweet holiday story. The Menashes love latkes and applesauce during Hanukkah. But a blizzard begins and erases any hope that they'll harvest potatoes and apples in time. When a stray cat and dog show up, there's not a lot of food to offer them, but kindness prevails, and they're invited in.
It turns out that the dog-Latke-and the cat-Applesauce-save the day.
