I ordered this book on a whim because I wanted something Jewish in the mix of my baby's board books, and I really love it. The rhymes and illustrations are cute without being too cutesy, and the things the family is doing to prepare for Shabbat are things families actually do (make dinner, get cleaned up, set the table). It is a lovely celebration of the anticipation of Friday night, and I would definitely recommend it to other Jewish families.
It's a cute book. We like to read it on Thursdays at bedtime so when the kids wake up on Friday they know that today is the day we prepare for Shabbat. I think we have read it enough times that we could all probably recite it without the book!
A great board book following a family and their dog as they prepare for the Sabbath. This will be a welcome find for families looking for books that explore Jewish traditions to read with their little ones. Cute story and illustrations. Looking forward to more books from Tracy Newman!
A delightful way to introduce young children to Shabbat. Exciting wordplay and illustrations contribute to the sense of excitement and anticipation when preparing for a holiday and then at last, "Shabbat is here!"
We love having one day a week in which we slow down and enjoy the NOW after working hard to make that possible! Hurray for the Sabbath, the day of Peace and Rest! This board book captures the excitement and anticipation! (I especially like the little dog!)
This is a truly adorable book with rhythmic and super fun rhymes and really cute illustrations! I couldn't imagine a better book for reading with kids just before Shabbat. Very highly recommended!!
My kids (1/3) love this book. Rhymes and illustrations are great. Nice length for little ones. The best Shabbat book we own (out of about 5). Highly recommend!
A very sweet and cute book for my sons to learn about Shabbat. It's short but it still conveys a good message and they like to read it!
