Hyman's pictures are filled with drama, expressive people and ugly goblins, and on the last page there's an author's note with an explanation of the history and symbols of Hanukkah.

    worth every cent

    I found this book during a Caldecot book study about 10 years ago. I knew I had to use it for my December reading library. As a teacher, I couldn't afford to buy it and my school didn't have a copy. So I called the public library. They held it for me. When I picked it up, I was delighted to know that the person who got it off the shelf had read it and was all a buzz with his co-workers about this great book. Ten years later, I have my own copy, in fact, I'm on my second copy. My first book had been read and read again and again over the seven years, so I now have a new copy. It is worth every cent! It gets the children excited and involved in the story!

    Great for children of all ages

    I've been reading this story to preschoolers for years and they always enjoy trying to figure out what will happen next. I use different voices that add to the fun. This is truly a masterpiece.

    Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins

    Eric Kemmel definitely knows how to capture the attention of the little kids who love to hear about spooky goblins. Maybe he knows what the children like, from being an elementary teacher, after graduating from Lafayette College in 1967. He taught and was a librarian in an elementary school in the Virgin Islands. In his 1990 Caldecott Honor book, 'Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins' he definitely took Hanukkah to a knew level involving goblins. Every little kid is goign to enjoy looking at the three eyed monsters and guessing what is going to happen. Illustrator Trina Schart Hyman did a great job of incorporating the storyline and goblins in the story. The kids actually learn about Hanukkah in a fun way. I think with the two extremely different types of characters it would be hard to illustrate for a book, but kids are going to love this book because its different and it has goblins.

    This was my all-time favorite children's book!

    When I was a kid I made my mom read me this book over and over again. I never tired of hearing about Hershel's bravery and cleverness as he attempts to outsmart the Hanukkah Goblins. The intricate and beatiful illustrations helped pull me into the captivating tale. When I was older, I took this book along with me to read to the kids I babysat for, as I still enjoyed (and still do for that matter!) hearing how ingenious Hershel is. This is a well-written and fascinating story!

    Outstanding story and captivating illustrations

    This book was given to me to read to some children 5 years ago. I have been reading it to children every year since. It is a scary and wonderful story with terrific, rich illustrations showing Eastern European Jewry from which this genre of story comes. I highly recommend it for young and old.
