Adapted from a Ukrainian folktale, with an imaginative twist from master
storyteller Eric Kimmel and featuring the timeless illustrations of
Caldecott Medalist Trina Schart Hyman, Hershel and the Hanukkah
Goblins is a true classic of children's literature.
A haunting tale with a warm heart, Hershel of Ostropol arrives at a
village on the first night of Hanukkah but finds the villagers too
afraid to light a single candle! Goblins with spindly claws and twisted
faces are haunting the synagogue. Hershel vows to break the curse. The
clever trickster faces down one goblin after the next, night after
night, until he meets the terrifying King of Goblins. It will take all
of Hershel's wits to trick the King of Goblins to light the Menorah
himself.
This classic picture book is a perfect Hanukkah gift and a wonderful
read-aloud.
