PRAISE FOR HERSHEL AND THE HANUKKAH GOBLINS
"[Hershel] successfully uses his wits to oust the eight creatures haunting the old synagogue and who are preventing the villagers from celebrating Hanukkah. Kimmel provides a humorous, entertaining and just slightly scary story for all young readers."―-Children's Literature
PRAISE FOR ZIGAZAK! A MAGICAL HANUKKAH NIGHT
"In the most imaginative Hanukkah book this season, Kimmel (Gershon's Monster) peoples an old-world town with mischievous demons, easily alarmed villagers and a wise and crafty rabbi. The brio of the storytelling doesn't shy from a moral: 'Sparks of goodness exist in all things, even in devils' tricks.'"―--Publishers Weekly
