| 1. |  | Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins from Holiday House Price: $6.95 Customer Review:  I've read this story to elementary age children for years. First graders to fifth graders,they are captured from the very first word and sit spell bound till the last. I guess the secret is that I love reading it as much as they love listening. |

| 2. | [no image] | I Went Walking from Live Oak Media Price: $39.95 Customer Review:  I agree with the other positive reviews. I just wanted to add that I used this book with a preschool storytime, and I followed it up with a sort of reader's theater. Each child was assigned one of the animals in the book. I took a walk around the room and said, "I went walking." The children all... |

| 3. |  | The Runaway Tortilla from Winslow Press Price: $16.95 Customer Review: As a Pre-K teacher in Texas this story is a favorite in my classroom every year during our Gingerbread unit.

| 4. |  | Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock from Holiday House Price: $6.95 Customer Review: This book includes one of my favorite Anansi tales, and I love how the clever spider is portrayed by the illustrator--as a "real-looking" spider rather than some sort of spider / human hybrid that seems to grace the pages of many children's books. This more "spidery" persona of Anansi makes him... |

The story is very... |

| 11. |  | Zigazak! A Magical Hanukkah Night from Doubleday Books for Young Readers Price: $10.85 Customer Review: It just isn't a Jewish holiday without a new book by Mr Kimmel. Kimmel (the author of Gershon's Monster) tells the story of how there are sparks of good and "light" in all things. It is an unusual Hanukkah tale of magic and mischief. As the residents in the shtetl of Brisk prepare to celebrate the... |

| 16. |  | The Adventures of Hershel of Ostropol from Holiday House Price: $7.95 Customer Review: I read from this book often to my pre-schoolers.

| 19. |  | Three Samurai Cats: A Story From Japan from Holiday House Price: $6.95 Customer Review: Gerstein designs the book like a comic, despite the author's prose style.

| 24. |  | Wonders And Miracles: A Passover Companion (Wonders And Miracles) from Scholastic Press Price: $14.21 Customer Review:  This beautifully presented book, with its lovely art printed on fine paper, seduces the buyer into thinking that it will be a perfect Seder companion. But, though it has useful information, its scholarship is only randomly reliable. Kimmel is unaware of the primary symbolism of the roasted egg,... |

| 26. |  | Sword of the Samurai: Adventure Stories from Japan (Trophy Chapter Books) from HarperTrophy Customer Review: This book should be mandatory reading for all elementary school boys. The western movies depicting martial arts fighting always seem to have the warriors making all kinds of wild moves and shouting some form of guttural Asian gibberish. Samurai did not behave in that manner at all. The true Samurai... |
