The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming by Lemony Snicket

The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming by Lemony Snicket

Latkes are potato pancakes served at Hanukkah, and Lemony Snicket is an alleged children's author. For the first time in literary history, these two elements are combined in one book. A particularly irate latke is the star of The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming, but many other holiday icons appear and even speak: flashing colored lights, cane-shaped candy, a pine tree. Santa Claus is briefly discussed as well. The ending is happy, at least for some. People who are interested in any or all of these things will find this book so enjoyable it will feel as though Hanukkah were being celebrated for several years, rather than eight nights.

Lemony Snicket is the author of the thirteen volumes in A Series of Unfortunate Events; several picture books, including the New York Times bestseller The Dark; and the books collectively titled All the Wrong Questions.

Rilla Alexander is a designer, illustrator, and picture book maker whose work has appeared on everything from toys and tea cups to busses and buildings. Some of her books include The Best Book in the World!, Her Idea, and Jane Yolen's A Bear Sat on My Porch Today.
