The Shabbat Puppy

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jaime Zollars. 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.
