oomis: Tales with Taam…will keep an eye out for it!! Fantasy is definitely a good thing for children. i too think it is healthy for a child to use his/her imagination and learn lessons too. But why not read a Jewish themed fairytale as opposed to these horror-type fairytales? There are so many books out there for children that teach the same lesson that one can learn from, say Goldilocks or Pinnochio, that are written by Jewish authors using Jewish ideas and Jewish names. Unfortunately there is so much out there that they will see. Why not infuse them with lessons using Yiddishe ta’am, or fairytales and other figments of the imagination using Jewish ideas and such?

That’s why I’ll be looking out for your book…!!;)
