Baby-PreS–This tender addition to the “Shalom Sesame” series follows Grover through a quiet bedtime routine, from cozy pajamas and toothbrushing to stories and a good-night Shema. Leigh’s familiar Sesame Street–style art keeps the mood bright but soothing, making this a natural choice for winding down.

VERDICT A soft, reassuring bedtime book that gently weaves Jewish tradition into a universal nighttime routine.
