The Mouse Who Loved Latkes
Books
When the Katz family moves in, C.J. Mouse is scared. But a delicious aroma lures C.J. out of his hiding hole. Nibbling jelly doughnut crumbs in the kitchen, he hears a soft voice say, “Hello.” C.J. watches the Katz family spinning a dreidel and eating chocolate coins. It looks like fun, but a mouse can’t play with cats! “Hello again,” says the littlest Katz. “Please don’t go. I could use a friend.” C.J. soon discovers that Mrs. Katz’s latkes taste as delicious as they smell. But can C.J. overcome his fear and make some new friends just in time for Hanukkah? Written and illustrated by Joy Nelkin Wieder, The Mouse Who Loved Latkes makes as a perfect holiday gift! Publication by KAR-BEN Publishing on October 7, 2025.
