The Menashe family looks forward to latkes and applesauce for Hanukkah every year. But one year, a big blizzard comes to town, and all the potatoes are buried beneath the snow. Now what? A wet kitten and a stray dog remind the family what's special about Hanukkah.

The story of Hanukkah beautifully unfolds through the eyes of a spider as he watches a Jewish family light a candle and spin the dreidel each night. Entertaining and educational for young ones, the story is part of a Sammy Spider book series that teaches children about Jewish holidays.
