Description

A fun new spin on the classic fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood featuring Jewish tradition and food.

It was a chilly winter in the northern woods, but Ruthie did not mind. Dressed in her favorite puffy red coat, she was going to spend Hanukkah with her grandmother, who lived on the other side of the forest. Ruthie was bringing sour cream and applesauce to go along with the yummy latkes. She carefully packed her basket and kissed her mother good-bye. Snow began to fall. Soon Ruthie was lost in a thicket, and she was not alone. Someone was hiding behind the tree, and when he jumped out, Ruthie found herself face to face with a wolf. Ruthie will have to convince the wolf that eating latkes will be tastier than eating her!

Reviews

"A welcome holiday offering."--School Library Journal
"A Hanukkah culinary delight."--Kirkus Reviews
"Koster and Eastland's spoof takes several twists and turns...Eastland's digital drawings, breezy and punctuated with lots of red, are a stylish counterpoint to the poker-faced text."--Publishers Weekly
"The cartoony illustrations and lighthearted text incorporate Hanukkah details and motifs."--The Horn Book
"Whimsical, humorous illustrations."--The Association of Jewish Libraries
