Funny, warm and clever, each of the stories in this collection proves that humor spices our lives in every generation. Shmuel Blitz has become known as the Bedtime-Story Man, and with good reason. He loves and understands children, and with his wonderful knack for conveying Jewish values has penned a highly successful series of Bedtime-Story books. The varied characters that tumble through the pages of this book are delightfully illustrated by Tova Katz. Every sage and simpleton, each monarch and peasant, is brought to life through pictures filled with vivid color and dynamic expression. Told with wit and gentle wisdom, these stories will delight parents and children alike. So sit back, pick a story - and smile!

Honesty, loyalty, piety, generosity, faith -- there is a long list of virtues that parents and teachers long to inculcate in their children. Textbooks cannot do it. Preaching often fails. Example is hard to find. Stories are often the best tool. What can be more enjoyable than a good story, and what can be more effective than such a story with a moral subtly woven within it? Such are the stories in this new offering from the pen of Shmuel Blitz, illustrated by the brush of Liat Binyamini Ariel, whose collaboration began with the best-selling Treasury of Jewish Bedtime Stories. In this new, beautifully illustrated collection, Blitz tells many stories with a message. Some are familiar. Some are original. All are adapted for a child's interest. The reader may note that many of the stories originate in Talmudic and Midrashic literature. Others are familiar from generations ago. Here they are crafted to grab a child's wide-eyed attention and keep him or her asking to hear them and feast on their illustrations again and again. The sturdy, child-resistant binding guarantees many days and nights of enjoyable, beneficial use. Put this book with your child's favorites, and watch the virtues flow.
