Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins

Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins

Eric Kimmel

illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman 1994

We like to read this story at any time of year. Clever Hershel travels to a small village on the first night of Hanukkah and outwits the nasty goblins that took over the Synagogue. Worthy in every way of the Caldecott Award it received.

For all our friends who celebrate Hanukkah...

Hanukah Money

Sholem Aleichem

illustrated by Uri Shulevitz 1978

Shulevitz pictures have a certain Maurice Sendak flair to them.  And you gotta love those Yiddish words and mannerisms.
