Hanukkah Bear

by Eric Kimmel Narrated by Laural Merlington

Overview

A bear wakes to wonderful smells that leads him to the house of Bubba Brayna. Bubba Brayna makes the best latkes in the village, but at ninety-seven, she doesn't hear or see well. When the bear arrives at her door, she believes he is her rabbi. Bubba Brayna and the bear light the menorah, play the dreidel game, and eat all the latkes. The mix-up is revealed, Bubba Brayna has a laugh about it, and everyone works together to make more latkes. The Chanukkah Guest by Eric A. Kimmel (Holiday House, 1990, o.p.) now has a new title and a shorter text.

PreS-Gr 1—Old Bear comes out of his den looking for something delicious to eat and finds the home of Bubba Brayna, who mistakes Old Bear for the rabbi in this adaptation of a picture book written by Eric A. Kimmel and illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka. Together, Bubba and Old Bear light the menorah and play dreidel before eating Bubba Brayna's delicious potato latkes. The animated illustrations appear to glow with candlelight, but what is truly one of the best parts of this animated adaptation is the narration. The narrator makes Old Bear's growls rise and fall, and switches to an elderly voice that is absolutely perfect for Bubba Brayna. A lovely and heartwarming tale to celebrate Hanukkah.
