(4) PS Photographs by Tod Cohen. Of most interest to Jewish preschools, this picture book follows a preschool class as they make their own challah for their Shabbat party. Each page features a clear color photo and simple text that documents the basic process. There is no explanation of the holiday or of the significance of religious items in the photos (such as a Torah scroll). A recipe and blessings are found at the end of the book.
