These various children's books all center around the Jewish theme of Shabbat. In "Shabbat Shalom" by Douglas Florian, kids enjoy a wooden book with bright colors walking them thru preparation for a delicious Shabbat dinner. In "Chik Chak Shabbat" by Mara Rockliff, young readers see how a whole community comes together to make food for their cholent chef when she is ill. In "On Shabbat" by Cathy Fishman, kids are walked thru Shabbat customs with a keen eye for tradition. In "Around the World in One Shabbat" by Durga Bernhard, children see how families all around the globe celebrate Shabbat differently. In "Soosie the Horse that Saved Shabbat", kids are delighted to see a horse deliver challah all around town. In "Dinosaur on Shabbat" by Diane Rauchwerger, little ones laugh along at a dinosaur's clumsy attempts at celebrating Shabbat. In "The Shabbat Princess" by Amy Meltzer, girls vicariously live thru the Shabbat Queen as they dress up in their finest attire. All in all, these children's books are rather delightful. They are an excellent way to take a relaxing break on any Shabbat of the year. Enjoy!
