Review:
"The term 'Boker Tov' - 'Good Morning' in Hebrew, is introduced in this jaunty jingle created and sung by Rabbi Black with an accompanying guitar on the enclosed CD. A little boy shadowed by his scruffy happy pup is encouraged to rise feeling the joy of what each new day can bring. Thanking God for food, the earth, the sunshine and the surprise of each new morning, the little boy dresses, eats and goes to school to enjoy the rest of the day. Brown's deeply colored acrylic paintings offer secular scenes of a multicultural and multiracial neighborhood full of cookie-cutter, round-faced, wide-grinned children all expressing carefree anticipation of the new day's wonderful possibilities. The universal theme of starting fresh each new day with a positive attitude overshadows the sacred theme of morning prayers, and while it certainly expresses a positive sentiment, it may not be the most useful book for religious curricula." --Kirkus Reviews
"The Hebrew phrase for 'Good Morning' is the inspiration for a sweet-natured tribute to the joys of experiencing creation anew each day ('Good morning, light shining in./ So much to do we can't wait to begin'). Brown's cheery paintings, which chronicle a boy's morning at home and school, are distinguished by exuberant colors and have just enough naif charm to be endearing without cloying. The text ('We thank God for the food we eat/ For the earth beneath our feet.../ For the morning sunshine bright, / That fills our hearts with joy and light./ Boker tov!') is actually lyrics to a song on an accompanying CD, from rabbi and singer/songwriter Black's 1998 album, 'Everybody's Got a Little Music.' While the overly familiar words don't exactly bounce off the page, they feel far livelier when interpreted by Black's genial, folksy vocals. A suitably buoyant way to begin the day. Ages 1-4." --Publishers Weekly
