A gentle message of diversity and inclusion for young children, as well as a subtle nod to gender fluidity, makes this a most unusual and modern Noah's Ark story. "A gentle, accessible take on Noah's Ark laced with a message of acceptance." --Kirkus Reviews"Conveys the importance of unity." --The Jewish Book CouncilAn eerie noise in the night is disturbing the sleep of all the animals on Noah's ark.None of the animals can identify the strange sound that has woken them up. It doesn't sound like the owls, or the cows or even the pigeons. Then the rabbits discover---a goblin! Frightened of this strange creature, the animals try everything to scare it away. But when they hear the same strange sound coming from another part of the ark, they realize there are TWO goblins just searching for one another, and as they rally to help, create a feeling of safety for everyone on the ark through the stormy days. Young children will love trying to help solve the mystery, imitate familiar animal sounds, and contrast them with the unfamiliar sound of a sweet-looking goblin, and join in as all the animals on the ark call to the goblin's partner so the two can be reunited. An end note for families explains the Jewish origin of goblins, the Jewish concept of tikkun olam (repairing the world), and the importance of both finding the similarities between ourselves and others, and accepting, even celebrating, our differences.

A fun summer read for 7-9 year-olds with a mud monster that, like Amelia Bedelia, follows directions a bit too literally. "I wish I'd had a golem when I was in summer camp, because I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book. I hope we'll be seeing more adventures with Emmett, the golem, and the rest of the Mud Pack soon." --Eric A. Kimmel, award-winning author of Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins and Miriam and the Sasquatch. Emmett Cohen was not at all happy when his mom insisted that he try the art elective at camp this summer. His parents and sister were arty, but he was not. He preferred skateboards and science and comic books. He was grumpy and more than a little homesick when he showed up at the art shack for his first session and started poking around for a project. He brightened when he found a trash can full of odd mud, and was soon engrossed in shaping a mini monster from the thick clay. At the end of the session, when he scratched his name in Hebrew on his project and left for a swim in the lake, he had no idea that the mud sculpture he had created was about to come to life. For Emmett had unknowingly created a golem, a mystical, protective mud creature that lived in Jewish legends dating back to 16th century Poland. And here it was in the middle of Camp Teva, in Emmett's cabin. Before long, the golem is getting into mischief and out of hand, and Emmett and his friends, now organized as a secret "Mud Pack" are trying to make sure no one finds out there is a real-life golem at camp. Luckily, Camp Teva was an awesome set up for hiding a mud monster. Join Emmett, his sister Emily, and his camp friends Jake, Danny, and Reisha, and the pesky twins Lilly and Rebecca as they embark on their most exciting summer ever, trying to keep one step ahead of an eager-to-please mud monster that has a hard time getting its instructions quite right.
