Maybe I'm not as fascinated by eyes as I should be, but this wasn't my favorite of Steve Jenkins' books. There just wasn't enough information for me.

It wasn't quite as good as I had hoped. Not quite as in-depth as I wanted, a little bit too much emphasis on appearance. I wish that had been addressed. However, I learned some stuff about past female representatives and senators that I didn't know already, and that's always good.

The illustrations weren't my favorite, but I do enjoy Gaiman's interpretation of the story.

Mysterious strangers stuck in a wintry inn? Role-playing games? All good to me!

I liked the rhyming text and the illustrations a lot. It also fills a need in my library for the backstory of Hanukkah. We had a lot of books about people celebrating throughout the year, but not one about how the holiday started!

A child ran off with this book after story time. I think it was a hit.

I really enjoyed this story, which tells the history of a boy's family alongside the traditions of Hanukkah.

A folktale about learning to work together. A great addition to my Kwanzaa collection.
