Book Reviews of The Shabbat Box
Book Review: A real treat!.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book which has been enjoyed by my three youngest children, ranging in age from seven to eleven. The illustrations are excellent and conjure up a warm and inviting community. The author invites the reader to look at Shabbat through the contents of the Shabbat Box rather than simply showing a typical Shabbat experience. This stimulated discussion between my sons (and between them and their parents!) regarding the roles of each of the items in the Box and their place in Shabbat. My kids all identified with parts of Ira's personality; whether it be the longing to have the turn at taking care of the Shabbat Box, the sadness at losing it or the desire to replace that loss with something beautiful rather than just turn up at school on Monday with an excuse for having lost it.
The instructions at the end of the book on how to make your own Shabbat Box were a bonus and we now have two such boxes at home and two more in the making as special gifts to young cousins.
Summary of The Shabbat Box
It was finally Ira's turn to take home the Shabbat Box -- a velvet covered shoe box with candlesticks, a kiddush cup, and fresh raisin challah rolls. He had waited 14 weeks (98 sleeps!) which seemed like forever. But a bad snowstorm blew open his book bag and the box was lost. What would Ira do. A warm introduction to Shabbat in the life of a preschooler.School Books
