Praise for Mrs. Claus's Noodle Kugel "A delightful holiday story that celebrates siblings, traditions, and the memories created when family comes together in the kitchen and around the table." -- Joyce Schriebman, author of Oy, Santa! or There's a Latke to Learn about Hanukkah "Thinking of leaving milk and cookies out for Santa? Think again, because according to Mrs. Claus, Santa's recent experience with latkes has him craving Jewish food. Janie Emaus's book Mrs. Claus's Noodle Kugel is a fun sequel to her previous Christmas/Hanukkah holiday mash up Latkes for Santa Claus. The story and accompanying kid-friendly recipes dish up a delicious multicultural mixed-faith holiday story sure to satisfy your sweet tooth." --Rebecca Langston-George, bestselling author of nineteen books, including For the Right to Learn: Malala Yousafzai's Story and Rover Rolled Over "Janie Emaus has done it again! Exploding noodles, a surprise cook, and elves everywhere will surely satisfy your child's hunger for a delectably entertaining, smile-a-minute holiday book.
" --Allia Zobel Nolan, bestselling author, What I Like About Me Praise for Janie Emaus's Latkes for Santa Claus "This charming story has all the ingredients of a sweet and tender perennial holiday classic. With whimsical rhymes, kid-friendly text, and illustrations guaranteed to appeal to little ones, this delicious book combines the traditions of Hanukah and Christmas in a way children, as well as their parents, won't soon forget. What's more, the latkes and sugar cookie recipes are the icing on the cake. I have twelve nieces and nephews, who will, for sure, find this yummy book among their holiday gifts." --Allia Zobel Nolan, author of What I Like About Me: A Book About Acceptance and Cat Confessions: A Kitty Come Clean Tell All Book " Latkes for Santa Claus is a joyful, engaging read perfect for culturally blended families and delightful for all readers. The playful rhymes will keep kids giggling, and the delicious recipes especially add a wonderful touch for anyone who might want to leave a treat for Santa." --Jess Rinker, author of Gloria Takes a Stand and Send a Girl "Ideal for blended families, but definitely delightful for anyone to read, Laktes for Santa Claus is a clever Hanukkah meets Christmas spin on leaving cookies out for Santa on Christmas Eve. Even if it's not Chrismukkah (when Christmas and Hanukkah overlap), this picture book still shows a way for Jewish children living with a non-Jewish step-sibling and/or step-parent how fun it is to share a bit of their Jewish holiday traditions during Christmastime.
I enjoyed every page of this charming new picture book because it showed how there is not only room for compromise in every family, but how easily a new tradition can be created bringing everyone closer." -- Good Reads with Ronna.
