Bookroo's summary

The Menashes face a bleak Hanukkah as a blizzard wipes out their potato and apple harvest. With little food, they still welcome a stray cat and dog into their home. As the holiday unfolds, these unexpected guests, Latke and Applesauce, bring a miraculous twist, turning scarcity into celebration. Can kindness truly change their fate?

From the publisher

A cat and dog create a Hanukkah miracle, just in the nick of time in this updated reissue of the beloved holiday classic. The Menashes love latkes and applesauce during Hanukkah. But a blizzard begins and erases any hope that they’ll harvest potatoes and apples in time. When a stray cat and dog show up, there’s not a lot of food to offer them, but kindness prevails, and they’re invited in. It turns out that the dog–Latke–and the cat–Applesauce–save the day.
