When an ox is sold from a Jewish family to a non-Jewish family, it takes the new owner a while to realize why she refuses to work every seventh day, but then he begins to appreciate the day of rest (with his family) too.

Beyond the joy of a Jewish take on this most American of folk songs, the illustrations here offer hilarious parodies of great works of art by da Vinci, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Hopper, Rockwell, Matisse, Picasso, and other masters--adding a whole new layer of humor and culture to the familiar tune. You'll love this old lady, and want to visit her every Chanukah for years to come.
