by Eric A. Kimmel
Review this book!
Bubba Brayna is making delicious potato latkes in anticipation of her evening's guest--the rabbi--who is coming to celebrate Hanukkah. When the smell of her cooking awakens a hibernating bear, he follows the smell right into Bubba Brayna's house. Because she is 97-years-old and her hearing and eyesight are not very good, Bubba Brayna mistakes the bear for the rabbi wearing a nice warm fur coat. Will she figure out her mistake before the bear eats up all the latkes? Illustrated with watercolors.
