Amalia goes to kindergarten
every morning at nine
Only Shabtai is left behind, a faithful canine!
While Amalia plays in the sand
Bounces a ball and claps her hands,
Shabtai at home throws a party
Inviting all his dog friends,
Coolie and Shortie!
They're having a great time
and the food is so good,
The noise they make wakes up
the whole neighborhood!
Suddenly the phone rings and spoils it all
Behind the door an angry voice calls,
Who's that? It's Tushia the neighbor,
And when she's around
that always means danger!
Will the naughty dog be caught?
Will this bring an end to his pranks and plots?
"Only rarely do we encounter a truly worth children-show, one that will leave its mark, teaching them that theater is a pleasure worth re-visiting, not only since some one falls on his bottom... and not because familiar T.V figures take-part... Shabtai is a rare spectacle: full of joy, surprising and even a little challenging..."
