Ten old men are keeping this synagogue going by coming to pray every morning and every night. But one day they hear something. What could it be? Of course! Its a mouse! The old men set out to trap the mouse only to discover many, many more. Its a gentle story, but I found myself laughing all along. The illustrations give the perfect images of the ten old men bantering back and forth. Just a great storybook for ages 4-8.
