Editorial Review

“The Jewish Sabbath gets a bouncy spin as one boy heads to his grandma’s house to celebrate. He’s excited
to help her prepare (‘Bubbe’s bakin’ challah, / Dough is in the bowl. / Gonna be her helper, / That’s how
we roll’), and the family celebration only grows as ‘cousins by the dozens’ show up to partake. Hebrew
words are sprinkled liberally through the text, and though the rhyme doesn’t always scan, the dauntless
energy makes this fun to read aloud. A welcome introduction for kids who aren’t familiar with Shabbat,
and a happy portrayal for those who are.” – Booklist
