Baxter, the Pig Who Wanted to Be Kosher

(2) K-3 Illustrated by David Goldin. Pig Baxter, excluded from Shabbat dinner, tries to become kosher. Baxter's misunderstanding is exposed when Rabbi Rosen asks: "Why would you want to get eaten?" (Baxter's response: "Eaten?! Me?"), then invites Baxter to be a guest rather than the main course. Digital pen-and-ink and collage cartoons are enhanced by photographs of important Shabbat items in this lighthearted introduction to the tradition.
