It’s Hot Off The Press 151 – and you’ll need something to keep you warm with the winter storm coming for many of us!
Try some of the sci-fi mystery adventure from Gini Koch, Layla Dorine’s spicy new romance, or some #dragon fun with the kids from A. L. Kaplan!
Go stack up those TBR piles!
I’m looking forward to seeing you at the Dragon’s Hanukkah book launch.
There will be donuts and another Sour Cream vs Apple Sauce poll!

A happy story and includes the recipe to make latkes together – recommend
Loved the sweet drawings and the inclusion of the recipe, so can use with the book to make latkes together. A happy story on building family traditions.

Charming Hanukkah Guide
A little dragon takes us on a charming journey through the fun and serious aspects of the Hanukkah holiday. I loved the author’s appealing drawings and I was glad to have her recipe for the potato latkes at the end of the story. If you want to have your own Hanukkah celebration, this picture book tells you everything you need to know.
Reviews of Dragon’s Hanukkah have been super. Here are a couple of them.

All Three Grandkids Enjoyed it!
I LOVE THIS BOOK and am happy I bought it! The illustrations are gorgeous as is the color palette. The story is informative and meaningful. All three of my grands enjoyed it, as the eldest (age 9) read it to the younger two (ages 7 and 2).

Dreidels, Dragons and Delightful
Perfect to introduce the holiday to a young child. Love the illustrations (and the caution to let Daddy do the latke cooking.) Definitely a book that will be handed from one generation to the next.
Get your copy today!
Or see me at the book launch this Sunday from 4:00-5:00 PM
How do you eat your latkes?

Hope to see you there!
