Anyone have any favorite books about the holidays? I like "Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins" by Eric Kimmel. I'm not Jewish by heritage, but I have to admit that I love the traditions involved in Hanukkah. I do a unit every year with my class about the history of Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. This story in particular is a little long to read in class and I was wondering if anyone had any others they really enjoyed, especially stories that teenagers could sit through.
