In this third book about a dinosaur participating in Jewish observances, the creature turns up to help a family prepare for the Friday night Sabbath. The good-humored text provides precise information about Shabbat practice, although rhyme scheme and punctuation are inconsistent in places. The accompanying illustrations juxtapose a rich, dark color scheme with cartoonish characters, adding to the text's high spirits.
