Rendition During Books The Rainbow Goblins

* * * Read and reviewed with my niece Emma * * *

The very idea of reading this book had Emma racing to finish her math and grammar homework, so that we could get to reading time.

It must have sounded like a promising read, I think because of her love/hate relationship with goblins. You see, we've built forts for heroes (us) and created dark blanket caves as a lair for goblins (usually pillows). We've then made valiant sorties from the fort into the goblin lair with our Dollar Store swords and armor to take back the plastic coins stolen from us by the goblins. These adventures are epic, frightening and exciting to my niece, who loves playing this game...provided I go first into the goblin lair.

So here we have a wonderfully illustrated book about a touchstone subject in my young niece's life. Add to it that this particular brand of goblin likes to drain the color from rainbows so that they might drink the procured colorful liquid, and what you have is an entirely engrossing book for this particular 7-year-old reader.

The story is solid. Seven goblins go on a quest for rainbow sustenance. How will the rainbow save itself from these evil doers? It may need a little help from its friends.

The real attraction to this book are the fantastic illustrations!



They're absolutely captivating! We spent more time looking at the pictures than reading the book. However, the whole package put together made for a terrific reading time experience for the both of us!

Discuss Epithetical Books The Rainbow Goblins

The most beautiful book that I have ever read, The Rainbow Goblins was essential bedtime reading for young Lolo from the tender age of 3 until such time as I managed to begin sneaking flashlights under the covers and reading until dawn. I still have my copy of this, as frayed and battered as it is, and still turn to it quite regularly.

A timeless picture book classic with breathtaking illustrations.

Great story. Wonderful illustrations. The goblins try to drain the rainbows, but the flowers defend it.

An interesting children's book. I've read this a few times for my kiddos since they like the idea of rainbows killing goblins. I imagine when they get older they'll realize it is really an allegory.

The story is a bit too short, but fascinating. You cannot deny the beauty of the illustrations. This is a book I will continue to read to the little ones.

Totally 70s trippy book. Old school Disney should have made a movie out of this one.
