Review Quotes
"Appropriately for the Festival of Lights, Harrington's use of light is the illustrations' greatest strength." --The Horn Book Guide
-- (4/1/2011 12:00:00 AM)"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." --Publishers Weekly
-- (10/11/2010 12:00:00 AM)"This book is an enjoyable read-aloud and will appeal to students looking for Hanukkah material. The illustrations and text meld together very well to make this an appealing book with an engaging story that will captivate the reader. Recommended." --Library Media Connection
-- (11/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)The account is told in an accessible rhyme with a refrain "Sometimes it only takes a few, /who know what's right and do it, too." Children will relate to the bright, stylized, cartoon-like illustrations and the characters' dramatic expressions.
