For his tenth annual Hanukkah party, he wants to surprise his guests with a new recipe…a recipe without “boring” potatoes. Big Larry lumbers through the farmer’s market, picking out exciting new flavors, but nothing is working! With the help of his friends, and Grandma Gator’s recipe, Big Larry is finally able to cook up the “perfect bite”. “It’s a Hanukkah party for all as his very happy and hungry friends celebrate the first night of the holiday with a new twist on a traditional treat. The cartoon illustrations are bold and brash, brimming over the pages with activity . . . this title gives readers who celebrate the holiday the sort of playful, largely secular experience found in countless Christmas books.” Kirkus Reviews • Larry’s Latkes is a PJ Library selection! • For a signed book, order from Books Inc Campbell.

But will he be ready in time? Get ready for an under water, steam-punk Shabbat! Count down with this cheerful shark robot as he sets the table, stirs the seaweed soup, and braids kelp into challah loaves. You'll want a byte of the food when a stingray brings seagrass cakes and algae sweets. Backmatter includes an ocean themed mindfulness exercise, setting the perfect mood for a Shabbat recharge. “Sharkbot could be any of us. Anyone who’s ever felt frazzled may identify with the robot shark in this picture book, who has to prepare dinner for seven guests in time for the Jewish Sabbath . . . his anxiety feels familiar and accessible.” Kirkus Reviews • Sharkbot Shalom is a PJ Library selection! • For a signed book, order from Linden Tree Books.
