A wonderful book that I only discovered recently (though I would have loved it as a child). I'm very thankful it has been reprinted.

It's a modern fairy tale set in the vague imaginary middle east, where sarongs are worn (though Christmas is also mentioned). However, the setting isn't of utmost importance; it's a land of magic. The story grabs the attention from the very start and moves briskly along without any lulls. The sentences are well crafted and roll off the tongue easily - never overly long or convoluted, yet definitely not dumbed down. It's a superb read-aloud.

This was a huge hit with the listeners (ages 3, 5, and 7). They adored every perfectly-sized chapter and every story-within-the-story. They engaged in discussions and debates about their favorite tales and were eager to hear the next installment. I could see the end coming from the very first, but they could not.

Don't let anyone tell you that 100-year-old books can't connect with today's kids. This book is a prime example that they can. It has the power to transport children to a world of magic and wonder, captivating their imaginations and leaving them eager for more.

I came across this children's book quite by accident.

As soon as I opened it and started reading, I was immediately captivated by Tal and his truly remarkable adventures.

The story is so engaging and full of excitement that it's impossible not to get drawn in.

I can't help but wish that I had known about this wonderful gem when my children were younger.

It would have been the perfect read-aloud chapter book for us to enjoy together.

The vivid descriptions and interesting characters would have surely held their attention and sparked their imaginations.

I highly recommend this book to anyone with children or anyone who simply loves a good adventure story.

It's a must-read that will bring joy and entertainment to readers of all ages.
