Lost in the woods, Ruthie must outwit a hungry wolf with Hanukkah treats.
Ruthie, in her red coat, ventures through snowy woods to celebrate Hanukkah with her grandmother. But when she loses her way, a cunning wolf emerges. Can Ruthie persuade him that her latkes are more tempting than she is? As tradition meets adventure, discover if Ruthie's cleverness can save her from becoming the wolf's next meal.
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!
