 Moishe's Miracle -- Kind-hearted Moishe is given a magical frying pan that will produce all the latkes you could wish forÑlatkes by the dozen, latkes by the hundredsÑbut only Moishe must use it. Alas, his short-tempered wife, Baila, does not heed the warning. 11 x 9-1/4 in; 32 pp ; full color throughout, paperback Quotes "A MOO-raculous book. It will put you in the MOO-d for the holidays." ÑNew York Times Book Review "This entertainingly illustrated tale unwinds itself and reveals the meaning of Hanukkah." ÑThe New York Times "A nifty parableÑunderstated, funny, with sharp characterizationsÑautomatically caught on the page by Slonim's flourishing, clever art, matching the tone perfectly." ÑKirkus Reviews "This warm-hearted, appealing folktale tells of a latter-day Hanukkah miracle that befalls a poor milkman, Moishe, and his short-tempered wife, BailaÉ. David Slonim's vibrant paintings of the Old World town of Wishniak and its inhabitants add immeasurably to the charm of author Melmed's suspenseful cautionary tale. A worthy Hanukkah gift."
