"In this sweetly energetic story with brightly colored pictures to match, Marshall simplifies the Jewish concept of mitzvah ('giving back' as a moral and religious obligation), making the idea more accessible to preschoolers by linking it to a child's everyday world. When Gabriel dons his cap and swishes his magic wand, things happen. Unfortunately, what happens gets him into trouble. While trying to make milk disapear from a glass, he causes a messy spill; instead of making his sister disappear, he makes her cry. His mother intervenes, sending him away for a time-out. If he is to be a great magician, she tells him, he must "do things that make people happy." So Gabriel cleans up the milk, picks up his toys, and sets the table. When his mother reappears, he waves his magic wand, 'One-wish! Two-wish! Jew-wish!"' and surprises her with all the good deeds he has done. Now he is the Mitzvah Magician!" -- Booklist Online, "Gabriel's overzealous wand-waving gets him into trouble when he plays magician: he knocks things over and pokes his sister in the tummy. Mom helps him redefine the role of magician. 'Good magicians do things that make people happy, not sad. They do mitzvot-that's a Jewish word for good deeds.' Mulling it over in time out, Gabriel comes up with new magic words, 'One-wish! Two-wish! Jew-wish!' and acts quickly to magically surprise his family with a clean house and yummy treat. While not all readers may agree that a magician's role is to do good deeds, in this context the 'magic' angle makes it fun to do good. The simplified definition of 'mitzvot' (technically, biblical commandments) is appropriate for young readers, especially the non-Orthodox Jews represented in the bright and blocky paintings. Jewish families and educators will welcome this title for its reinforcement of the mitzvah concept."--School Library Journal, "Whenever Gabriel the great magician commands 'Presto Magico,' a small disaster occurs. His magic wand is his tool of choice to empty a glass and make his sister disappear. But to achieve these ends, he knocks over the glass and pokes his sister. Mom gives him a time out and sets him to thinking about using his magic to do mitzvot, or good deeds. He decides that his magic needs some 'Jewish words,' so he comes up with 'One-wish! Two-wish! Jew-wish!' as his new mantra. He carefully cleans the mess in the kitchen, puts his toys away and sets the table for snack time. With waves of his wand and his new magic words, he astonishes his mother with the amazing transformation and a new purpose for his magic. Marshall evokes gentle humor in this tale of a very believable little boy whose infatuation with a new toy leads to overzealous enthusiasm followed by remorse and creative atonement. The introduction of the key Yiddish words (in both singular and plural) is accomplished seamlessly and serves to stress the universality of this family's experiences rather than emphasizing any cultural differences. (Though it's too bad the text does not correctly cite the language as Yiddish, instead of 'Jewish.') Engel's brightly hued, delightfully detailed illustrations ably capture the action while maintaining a slightly skewed playfulness that is enhanced by the casual typeface, coloring and spacing of the text. Abracadabra! Lovely magic indeed." --Kirkus

What I received in the mail didn’t match Zuber’s posted description or pictures. So, there was a listing error. However, Zuber was very responsive and easy to work with once I notified them of the discrepancy. They offered a couple of options to correct things and ended up giving me a full refund when I requested it. Because of this, I’d be comfortable purchasing from them again. This is an honest company, willing to admit when they’ve made a mistake and make things right. That was refreshing!
