For me? My very own chew toy? What a great family I have.

I am one lucky dog.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Do we need another juvenile Hanukkah book? The answer is definitively yes, in the case of this lovely new dog-centric book which gives a unique perspective on the holiday." -- Jewish Book World



"Youngsters will root for the puppy....Child-like illustrations perfectly match the text....It is recommended for those libraries that need to round out their holiday book choices."―Library Media Connection



"Told in Latke's voice, the story highlights the holiday's traditions as well as the love between the dog and his new family. Cheerful textured illustrations capture all of Latke's mischief." ―starred, The Horn Book Magazine



"This is a pleasant Hanukkah title, with the bonus of nicely conveying that the rescued animal is a lucky dog indeed. A brief description of the holiday is included." ―School Library Journal

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cute book about dog adopted during holiday, light on actual Hanukkah info
    Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Very cute book about Hanukkah. I don't even remember ordering this, we don't have kids or know any kids. So I'm not sure how I ended up buying it, but it's a good book about a dog that is adopted for the holiday and accidentally messes up all their traditions, but the family loves him anyway and he's happy at the end. Just FYI it doesn't cover the reason or story around Hanukkah at all, fine with me but other families may want more history.

    We decided to give it our local animal shelter for their holiday gift shop next year. (Very Jewish area.)

    This book was purchased for my 3 and 1.5 year old daughters. There is several nice messages about understanding, kindness and patience in this book along with a bit of Hanukkah tradition throughout the story. I appreciate that this story is about a dog being rescued from a shelter. While the new family member runs into some problems they don’t give up. I definitely recommend this book for your little ones this Hanukkah!
