From the dust jacket:

When Jacob tries to retrieve the new brass dreidel he dropped in a well, he comes upon a goblin living at the bottom. The goblin can't find that dreidel, but he gives Jacob something better: a magic wooden dreidel that spins out latkes, delicious latkes with applesauce and sour cream. Jacob is so excited, he shows the dreidel to his busybody neighbor, Fruma Sarah, who wants it for herself. She sneakily switches it with an ordinary dreidel. Is Jacob ever surprised when he tries to show off his new dreidel to his family! It's not magic. There are no latkes, no applesauce, no sour cream.

After the goblin gives Jacob a new magic dreidel, Fruma Sarah manages to trick him again. But he won't be fooled a third time. With a little help from his goblin friend, Jacob turns the tables on his sneaky neighbor and retrieves the magic dreidels—in time to celebrate Hanukkah!

Katya Krenina's delightful illustrations skillfully bring to life Eric A. Kimmel's charming Hanukkah story.
