Shh . . . Shh . . . Shabbat Board book – Illustrated, January 1, 2016

Well written and solid construction.

I'm not Jewish, but my son-in-law is and my daughter is converting. I bought this a a baby gift for my new grandson, my son-in-law loved it. Was surprised I purchased it, I respect their religion, it's just not mine. I also bought Good Night Moon. Books are important!!

excellent board book for baby

If I had known that writing a children’s book was such a flavorless endeavor as this book was… I would’ve been laughing my way to the bank a long time ago. (Boring 💤)

Cute Shabbat story! I cant go wrong with board books for my current 9 month old

The recipient of this baby gift was thrilled with it

Sunday and Monday are very busy, busy days of the week. A trio of girls are listening to music and dance, dance, dancing. Squirrel watches as skateboards race past. Say, did you see that dog boarding with them? Mouse watches the neighborhood as someone mows their lawn and listens as music comes from a window. “On a morning-madness Monday, / Mouse hears / Motorcycles roaring past, / Music playing at full blast.” Then there are the other days of the week. What will they bring to the very busy, noisy town? On Tuesday Turtle watches ad the cars and trucks travel the roads. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep!On Wednesday Worm watches bicyclists as they pedal uphill and listens to a whistle blast. On Thursday and Friday there is laughter at the basketball court for Thrush to listen to. Friday is extra busy as Frog watches and listens to a fire engine rush down the street, but something is so much different for everyone on Shabbat. “But each and every Shh ... Shh ... Shabbat, / Squirrel Mouse, Turtle, / Worm, Thrush, and Frog listen as ... / Soft winds blow, rhythms slow. / Noises hush, / There’s no rush.” Why is Shabbat so quiet?This is a charming board book that will help little children learn about Shabbat. The artwork is very bright and appealing and the verse very lyrical and fun. I loved watching the animals as they watched and listened to the lively town during the week. Each little critter appears to smile as the busy, busy town goes about its business. Of course Shabbat is a very quiet day and parents and caretakers will be able to explain to their little ones just why the little town has settled down. A wonderful story in verse to introduce preschoolers to Jewish traditions.Grade Level: Pre-KAges: 1 to 4LINDA ELOVITZ MARSHALL: The Mitzvah Magician Talia and the Rude Vegetables Grandma Rose’s Magic (Shabbat) Talia and the Very Yum Kippur This book courtesy of the publisher.

Muy bonito, pero no tiene mucha enseñanza sobre shabbat, solo las ultimas dos paginas tratan de la fiesta del Eterno. Lindo.
