From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3. In this loosely connected collection of stories originally published in England, Hob is the same, yet different, from the main character in Mayne's Hob and the Goblins (DK, 1994). In that tense and riveting work, readers follow the adventures of the household spirit as he grapples with Goblins that threaten to destroy not only Hob's "family" but the entire world. Here, Hob lives with the same family?Mr., Mrs., Boy, and Girl in addition to Baby and Budgie?but deals with less frightening creatures. A true household spirit, Hob cleverly protects his home and banishes a Boggart that curdles the milk, a Nobody that moves things that nobody admits to having seen, the Clockstop that gets in the works of the clock, the Mump that makes Baby and Budgie's cheeks hurt, and others like Sad, Temper, Lightning, and Hickup. The language of these four-to-five page stories is much simpler than that in Hob and the Goblins, and the tone of the book will reassure as well as amuse. The watercolor-and-ink drawings are colorful, charming, and full of detail. Every chapter has one or two large illustrations as well as several smaller pictures set into the text. A beautiful book that begs to be read aloud.?Wendy D. Caldiero, New York Public Library
