Star "This charming board book containing a 'thank you prayer' will help the young preschooler become aware of and participate in family mealtime traditions. Jacqueline Jules's ability to create the perfect sing song verse is evident in this small book that introduces the Hamotzi. 'Bread and butter on my plate, / I'm so hungry, I can't wait.' This verse makes it all the more appealing to little ones. The artwork is simple, colorful and appealing." -- Feathered Quill Book Reviews, March 2010. Read the full review.
