My little daughter wanted me to invent stories, and a lot of classic fairy tales she already know them because of movies and TV, so I wanted something different.

This book was a very good choice because not only they were stories unknown to us, but good for learning about moral, good business practices, and to laugh.

My daughter wanted more stories, too bad it's a short book, we wanted more.

My son loves Shmuel Blitz's books. Some stories are still a bit over his head, but he likes the phrasing, language, and of course, the wonderful illustrations. The stories will be his favorites as he grows, and I like the citations provided for the stories as well (so adults can do more learning as well!).

This book has more stories and is longer than the Bedtime Book of Jewish Values, which is another great favorite of my son's (he calls it his "special book").
