This is a fun tale about a magical frying pan that makes delicious latkes. It reminds us greatly of the story Strega Nona by Tomie dePaola. It has the same storyline and the same inevitable cooking chaos and comic result. Our girls really enjoyed this story and we want to try the recipe for latkes that is included at the end of the story (see below.) There is also a note at the end that explains Chanukah and why latkes are a part of the holiday celebration.

I used this book in a text set last semester. I really liked it, because it has a lot of culture within the story. If I was using this book in my class I would emphasize the food and place they lived in the story. This is a great mulitcultral book to have as a social studies lesson.

I wonder if Hershcel, Hillel, Hayim and Max were invited to the Chanukah party that their mischief helped to create? (I also wonder if they learned their lessons and stayed true to their promises...afterall, they gave their word once and failed to behave....)
