An engaging holiday story with a message - that Hanukkah is a time for celebrating with family and friends, and that sometimes it is necessary to keep trying, when attempting to do a kindness - The Borrowed Hanukkah Latkes is a book that assumes some basic knowledge of Hanukkah. This is a contemporary story about the celebration of the "Festival of Lights," not an explanation of its origin, but if one bears that in mind, it makes for a fun little picture-book. Nancy Cote's colorful gouache artwork, while not really in a style I find compelling, is engaging enough. All in all, a pleasant Hanukkah tale - enough to convince me to track down the "sequel," Mrs. Greenberg's Messy Hanukkah. ( )
