Publisher Description:
When Danny's family gets together, it's a mess. Arguing. Shouting. This. That. Oy, enough already!
Yet, this Chanukah it's louder than ever, and all over a Buick. Go figure.
Go figure that when Uncle Izzy throws a latke out the window, the FBI thinks it's a UFO and the air force tries to shoot it down!
Who knew, because of a latke, that the whole family, who can't get along for five minutes, would be trapped in their house for eight days and eight nights?
Well, Arthur Yorinks and William Steig knew, for they created not only this book, but a small miracle.
