T''WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE HANUKKAH is a colorful, comedic take-off on the eternal, holiday classic T''Was The Night Before Christmas.

Blending signature elements of Christian and Jewish holiday traditions into an off-beat, mildly irreverent and laugh-out-loud tapestry, T''WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE HANUKKAH introduces its hilarious and loveable character Hyman Hanukkah to start a new holiday tradition.

Warm and witty, with delightful illustrations and ease of style, this book produces belly laughs on every page as we board Hyman''s "sleigh" - a red Cadillac Eldorado convertible with Dade County plates and pulled by Jewish reindeer - for a trip through the holidays on a ride of smiles. Manischewitz and roll mop, gefelte and noodle kugel, tensile rib Capri pants, the Eden Roc Hotel and a cast of charming characters are dished up with irrepressible joy...enough to whet any reader''s appetite for fun and laughter.

Don''t miss Hyman as he leaves Miami Beach on a star-lit, holiday eve to deliver his presents.

And don''t kvetch either. The holidays will never be the same This is entertainment at its best.
