The holidays are nearly here. The Latke Who Couldn’t Stop Screaming has at last returned to print. You have a very precocious young reader in your life who demands a magazine to call their own. You have hot liquid in need of color-changing vessels. This combo is here to solve at least a small but not insignificant percentage of your many problems.

Latkes are potato pancakes served at Hanukkah. Lemony Snicket is an alleged children’s author. For the first time in literary history, these two elements are combined in one book. People who are interested in either or both of these things will find this book so enjoyable it will feel as if Hanukkah is being celebrated for several years, rather than eight nights. The mug is 11 oz. It is cherry red. It turns white when hot liquid is added within, as one often does with a mug. It states the title of this holiday classic upon it. It should be yours. Illustoria is an art and storytelling print magazine for all ages, suitable for readers as young as six years. Get all three together for one excessively reasonable price while supplies last, or by December 15, whichever comes first.

Praise for The Latke Who Couldn’t Stop Screaming: A Christmas Story

“Go ahead and cover this book in red, stamp it with gold foil and label it a Christmas story—Lemony Snicket fans won’t be fooled. […] Embedding a satirical sting in his elegantly cadenced prose, the author up-ends any number of conventions in what may be his funniest book yet.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
