Latke, the Lucky Dog Worksheets

by Ellen Fischer

Lexile AD440L

Latke is a golden-brown mutt at the animal shelter until Zoe, Zach and their parents pick him out and take him home on the first night of Hanukkah. Then, night after night, he gets into trouble: he gobbles the sufganiyot, tears open the presents, eats the latkes and chews up Zoe's dreidel, and Dad starts to wonder if they picked the wrong dog. A funny, warm Hanukkah story about a rescue dog learning the rules of his new home.
