Shabbat Hiccups

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ilana Exelby. Jonah loves Shabbat, but one week hiccups interrupt his day of rest. As his relatives try to help, their hiccup "cures" are interspersed with descriptions of their Shabbat celebration. The book offers a detailed, happy portrayal of the family's observance of the Jewish Sabbath, but the hiccups are oddly incidental to the holiday plot. Colorful, cheerful illustrations pair smoothly with the text.
Reviewer: Miriam Steinberg-Egeth
