Bright pictures of babies getting ready for their day. A perfect quick read for wiggly ones.

I guess the thinking is that most people reading this know that it's from a series about Shabbat life. I did not, though, so when I got to the end, I had to look up what Boker tov meant. It's cute- I just had to look up the pronunciation and meaning.
