When a noise woke him up. It was barely a peep...
Horton the elephant is as observant and kind as ever in this festive picture book about the Jewish celebration of miracles and freedom.
When Horton hears joyful singing one night, the kangaroos and the Wickersham brothers are sure he is not right. But when Horton hears new distant sounds and smells over seven nights, he knows that he isn't dreaming!
On the eighth night, Horton and his friends discover the source of the mystery, as the Whos invite them to a very special celebration.
Written and illustrated in the iconic style of Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who!, this Hanukkah read-aloud is perfect for learning about Hanukkah traditions and celebrating the Jewish Festival of Lights.

Beautiful story, exceeded expectations
Well done and convincingly Seuss!
The kids loved the story.
A fun addition to our collection of Hannukah books to read to our grandchildren. They love it.
Dr Seuss's Horton is a classic that is loved by the young and the young at heart. Leslie Kimmelman's tale tells a new Horton story with a Hanukkah twist. Horton keeps hearing joyful noise, but no one believes him until the final night of Hanukkah, when the Whos and a tiny menorah with all nine candles ablaze finally appear in the forest. Kimmelman's fun rhymes are reminiscent of Dr Seuss's style and they mention all the Dr Seuss favorite characters along the way. The bright colorful pictures by the prolific Sesame Street and Dr Seuss illustrator Tom Brannon capture all the characters original appearance. My young grandchild loved this story, but I think that I enjoyed it even more. This fun book is a perfect holiday story for the little ones and a trip down memory lane for adults.
