Mark Binder is a great storyteller, and his comedic renderings of these Chanukah-identified stories -- about a ravenous loaf of challah bread and "Lethal Latkes," among other oddities -- bring a tinge of excitement to what is essentially a minor Jewish holiday. It's a nice antidote to the ubiquity of The Night Before Christmas, and besides, who wouldn't love an album that ends with "Goldilocks and the Three Bubbes"?
