Publisher Description
Judah and the little army of Maccabees fight to free Jerusalem from the cruel King Antiochus in this vibrant and action-filled rhyming version of the famous Hanukkah story.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The story behind Hanukkah gets the action-figure treatment, with Judah Maccabee as a chiseled hottie. The rhyming text is only serviceable ("So Judah led the scrappy band/ To fight for freedom through the land"), but it hardly matters: the real draw is the high drama of Harrington's sculptural illustrations and their superhero cartoon vibe, as the Maccabees fend off armored elephants and labor to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. Ages 3 8.
