Latke, the Lucky Dog is a heartwarming children's picture book from 2014. It was written by Ellen Fischer and illustrated by Tiphanie Beeke. The story is about a special mixed-breed dog named Latke. He finds a new home just in time for Hanukkah.
Discovering Latke's Story
Latke, the Lucky Dog tells its story from the viewpoint of a mixed-breed dog named Latke. He gets his name because his fur is the same color as a latke, a yummy Hanukkah food. Latke finds his new family when he is adopted from an animal shelter. He becomes a special Hanukkah present for two siblings, Zoe and Zach.
Latke is a bit silly and sometimes thinks all the Hanukkah food and gifts are just for him! He makes some funny mistakes and even a few messes. But no matter what, his new family always forgives him. By the end of the story, Latke realizes how lucky he is. He feels truly happy to be part of such a wonderful family. The book also includes a helpful page that explains more about Hanukkah traditions and its background.
