A boy, a girl, their mother and father, one set of grandparents and a helpful family dog gather to complete such tasks as braiding challah dough, setting the table, tidying up and putting coins in a special bank. The final line announces that 'Shabbat is here!' as the family gathers at the dining-room table, where two candles, wine and challah adorn the table. Parents looking for a book to provide specialized Shabbat vocabulary will have to look elsewhere (for example, the challah bread and the practice of making <em>tzedakah</em>, donations for the needy, are not named or even labeled within the art). Despite this minor quibble, <strong>the bouncy verse and Garofoli's richly colored, slightly three-dimensional cartoons against canvas-textured background provide a compelling introduction to the weekly celebration. <br /> <br /> This playful depiction of a loving family gathering is a suitable introduction for observant families.</strong> (<em>Board book. 1-4</em>) -- <em>Kirkus Reviews</em></p>-- "Journal"<br><br><p>While most Shabbat books for young children highlight the holiday rituals and symbols - the candles, the wine, the challah - the simple, repetitive text in this board book focuses on the preparations before sunset: 'Friday's here. Jump and cheer. Shabbat is coming.' Braiding the challah, cooking, setting the table, cleaning up, bathing, and giving <em>tzedakah</em> (charity) is each given a page with a rhyming couplet and ending with the refrain, 'Shabbat is coming.' The culmination: 'With candles bright, we greet the night. Hurray! Shabbat is here!' The cheerful, textured illustrations depict a contemporary family, with Dad wearing an apron to bake the challah and cook the soup, and Grandma and Grandpa joining the family for Shabbat dinner. <strong>All in all, <em>Shabbat is Coming!</em> is a nice addition to board book collections in Jewish settings</strong>. -- <em>AJL</em></p>-- "Magazine"<br>
