I think this book touches on some ways to celebrate Shabbat. I think there are a variety of ways that people can celebrate Shabbat. I do like how the characters are named Bim and Bom. I also like how the woman was actually a builder and the man a baker. That was an interesting touch. I also like the illustrations.

Sweet intro to what people do on Shabbat, plus the popular Shabbat Shalom song.
