Joe Black’s delight­ful new book encour­ages young chil­dren to get their day start­ed. Who could resist an exhor­ta­tion to get ​“Out of your jam­mies and into your clothes/​Boker tov!” The text gen­tly reminds chil­dren to thank G‑d for their food, the earth beneath their feet, and the morn­ing sun­shine, and the refrain of ​“Bok­er tov!” lets even very young lis­ten­ers chime in as some­one else reads to them. The smi­ley chil­dren in Rick Brown’s charm­ing illus­tra­tions wake up, get dressed, brush teeth, eat break­fast (note the dan­gling feet of the boy sit­ting in an adult-sized chair), and go to school. The accom­pa­ny­ing CD sets the text to music, with a catchy tune inter­spersed with Black con­vinc­ing a child to get mov­ing. Black’s infec­tious enthu­si­asm will like­ly inspire new morn­ing tra­di­tions in many fam­i­lies. Ages 2 – 5.
