* ”In this splendidly illustrated, humorous tale, Hershel outwits, one by one, eight fearsome goblins who not only haunt an old synagogue, but also have been forestalling Hanukkah in a nearby village. . . . Rarely are author and illustrator so in tune.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
“This book is welcome both as a Hanukkah story and as a trickster tale.”—The Horn Book
