5.0 out of 5 stars
A Magical Hanukkah Story,
By Aaron S. (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Asher and the Capmakers: A Hanukkah Story (Hardcover)
This is a traditional story re-told. A young boy goes looking for an egg for latkes and gets lost in the woods on a Hanukkah night adventure. We liked the illustrations and the magical twist to the story.

Darkly funny, magical story,
By
This review is from: Asher and the Capmakers: A Hanukkah Story (Hardcover)
Asher and the Capmakers by Eric Kimmel isn't precisely a folktale. This delightful story is rather an interweaving of folktales from many traditions. Asher runs to the neighbor in the middle of a storm to borrow an egg for the family's latkes. First he becomes lost, but eventually, he comes across mysterious fairies who wear magical caps that can wisk them away to the Pasha's Palace in Jerusalem. While set at Chanukah, this book doesn't teach much about the holiday--which is fine--but it does thoroughly entertain. I'd recommend this one for children 5 to 10 years old. It's a little scary for the youngest readers. |
