[1] The Artscroll Children's Siddur
Your youngsters are 4,5,6 years old. They
are just beginning to daven and you want them to enjoy the
“Siddur experience” – because you know that if they love it when
they are little, they will appreciate davening more and more as
they get older and more mature.
This Siddur was compiled by Shmuel Blitz, in consultation
with master teachers. It has the basic prayers with which
children begin their lives. The translations and instructions
are on their level. And they’ll be fascinated by all the “Did
you Knows” and “Closer Looks”. (So will you!) And Tova Katz’s
illustrations! They are lovely and enticing. They’ll keep
children coming back to this Siddur again and again. We
know it will get heavy, heavy use -- that’s why this
Siddur has a strong binding and a stain-proof cover.
If you have a child, a grandchild, a niece or nephew, or you
want to see a big smile on a little face – get them this Siddur.
It is great investment in a youngster’s future! |

Maggid Stories For Children -- Few books have so caught
the imagination of the Orthodox community as Rabbi Paysach Krohn’s
Maggid series. One after another, they have captivated readers and
become as quoted as any publications in recent years. And now for
the first time, these wonderful stories are presented for our
children on their own level. Here are seventeen of the best stories
in all the Maggid books. All kinds of stories, about great and
ordinary people, children and adults, in situations that will grab
our interest and hold it. When we put down this book (not an easy
thing to do), we’ll take warm memories with us. And we’ll come back
to read it again and again. Chaviva Krohn Pfeiffer has her father’s
knack for picking and telling a story. In this book, she picks some
of the Maggid’s best, and tells them beautifully. Norman Nodel
pitches in with illustrations that are worthy of the stories. All in
all, this is an irresistible book for children -- one of the best! |

More Maggid Stories For Children -- Chaviva Krohn Pfeiffer
brought delight into countless homes with her first volume of Maggid
stories for Children. As the saying goes, the apple doesn’t fall far
from the tree -- and the daughter is right up there with the father,
Rabbi Paysach Krohn in her ability to pick a good story and tailor
it to her audience. After that first best-seller, readers clamored
for more -- and here they are: more of the best stories from all the
Maggid books. All kinds of stories, about great and ordinary people,
children and adults, in situations that will grab our interest and
hold it. When we put down this book (not an easy thing to do), we’ll
take warm memories with us. And we’ll come back to read it again and
again. Chaviva Krohn Pfeiffer knows how to tell a story. In this
book, she picks some of the Maggid’s choicest, and presents them
beautifully. Norman Nodel and Tova Katz pitch in with illustrations
that are worthy of the stories. All in all, this is an irresistible
book for children -- one of the best! |

A Mother's Favorite Stories --
Sheina Medwed knows that values and human
interest are as much a part of a healthy family as cake and gefilte
fish. In this book, she gives us some of her favorites -- all true,
all good, all told with a flair.
These
are not stories for children. They are about mature themes and the
challenges of life. We’ll meet people adjusting to new lands. Some
of them discover Judaism for the first time. Others muster up the
courage to survive tragedy and contribute to others. All in all,
this is a book that brings a great deal to the table, especially at
a time in history when there is a shortage of the sort of stories
that make one sit up and smile and say, “Maybe there’s hope for the
world after all!” Readers of the manuscript have called it a
new Maggid book, and that is very high praise indeed. Interesting
characters, solid narratives, graceful writing, positive messages --
what more could one ask for in pleasurable reading?

[8] A
Treasure of Bedtime Stories -- This is one of those rare books
that youngsters will curl up with again and again. Bedtime will
begin with a mother reading a story and pointing to the gorgeous
full-color illustrations, and end with a little head on the pillow,
and this book clutched protectively under it. These twenty-one
stories cover the gamut from gentle humor to profound faith to warm
kindness. The heroes range from kings and sages to wise travelers
and fantasizing laborers. Shmuel Blitz tells a story with the zest
and flavor of an imaginative zaidy or bubby, and when Liat Binyamini
Ariel illustrates a scene, the reader is ready to jump into the
action. Every story will hold a child’s interest and keep him or her
asking to hear it many more times. Add to that a sturdy,
child-resistant binding and you have a sure-fire recipe for many
days and nights of story-telling pleasure. Everyone will have his or
her favorite stories -- but this book will be everyone’s favorite.
That’s for sure. |

Bedtime Stores of Jewish Value -- 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. |
