Noah wishes Mazel the dog could come along on his Shabbat walks with Grampa, but Grampa thinks he's too noisy. Finally he relents and concedes that "even a wiggly, jiggly, barking, bouncing dog" can find Shabbat peace. While Grampa's change of heart seems arbitrary, the book's playful text and endearing graphite/digital illustrations (Mazel is delightful) make it a good read-aloud choice.
