The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming: A Christmas Story is a children's book written by Daniel Handler (under the Lemony Snicket alias) and illustrated by Lisa Brown.
Plot summary
The Latke Who Couldn't Stop Screaming is about an irate latke at Hanukkah who escapes from being boiled in a hot frying pan. He runs into various Christmas symbols (such as fairy lights, a candy cane and pine tree) who are all ignorant and uneducated about the customs of Hanukkah. The latke attempts to educate these people about the history and culture surrounding the Jewish holiday, but his attempts are always in vain and he runs away from each encounter in a fit of frustration.
