Cover: It's Tot Shabbat!

It’s Tot Shabbat is part of a Kar-Ben series showing children celebrating Jewish holidays around the year. Here we follow a group of appealing preschoolers attending a synagogue youth program on Shabbat morning while their parents pray in the adjacent sanctuary. The children play games relating to stories from the weekly Torah portion and share a snack after making a blessing on their food. They listen to a story, share toys, and model other appropriate and enjoyable behaviors for young readers. They happily rejoin their parents in song and prayer at the end of the service. The illustrations are bright, clear photographs of children learning and having fun, obviously enjoying their synagogue experience. The text is simple and easily understood and is followed by a glossary as well as the wording, explanation, and transliteration of the brachot or blessings mentioned within the story. Highly recommended for ages 2-5.” —Jewish Book World
