On an evening quite cool, on a snow-blowy night

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!
