Semitic Tales contains bed-time stories. Each story teaches your child Hebrew, without their realizing it. The stories are written in English, but the opposing page provides the option of inserting a few Hebrew words (at your discretion). All the Hebrew words come from the book of Jonah. If your child is not careful, they will accidentally learn how to read the book of Jonah - in the original Hebrew. The book of Jonah only contains, approximately, 100 unique Hebrew words. Semitic Tales is designed to acquaint your child with a large portion of those Hebrew words.

When I taught, it was my duty to begin each class with a premise - the more provocative, the better. Each minute in this book draws a student into a debate. Who wins the debate is less important than making sure a student has both feet in the argument. It is impossible to listen to this book without growing. Unless learning is fun, your student won't care.
