    Join Dr. Seuss's beloved character Horton the elephant as he discovers the joys and traditions of Hanukkah with help from the Whos!

    Don’t miss the Netflix original series Dr. Seuss’s Horton!

    On an evening quite cool, on a snow-blowy night
    In the Jungle of Nool, which was covered in white,
    Horton the elephant had just gone to sleep
    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.
    Leslie Kimmelman is the well-regarded author of over 15 picture books. She lives with her family in Ardsley, New York.

    Sarah McMenemy was declared a “new talent to watch” (Publishers Weekly) for her picture book debut, Waggle. She lives in London, England. View titles by Leslie Kimmelman
