The Parakeet Named Dreidel

Written by Isaac Bashevis Singer, Illustrated by Suzanne Raphael Berkson

What do you do when you find a parakeet on your snowy windowsill on the last night of Hanukkah? Bring it in and keep it warm, of course! But then what if you can’t find the owner? This was the dilemma. This is a fun story with a nice twist at the end.
