Young Benny has a profound appreciation for Shabbos. He counts down the days to this most exciting day of the week by counting the special articles of clothing his mother is preparing for him to wear. Written in rhyme, and with color illustrations, the story vividly communicates Benny’s excitement about observing Shabbos and beautifully conveys his attitude of respect.
A book that can help inspire enthusiasm in young children, this engaging story is recommended for ages 2 – 5.
