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.
