Great Siddur for the younger ones in your family or congregation - I serve as Librarian for Congregation Beth Israel in Malden, MA, and one of my first acquisitions upon accepting the position was a copy of this prayerbook for review, and 6 more soon afterward. While your young ones won't be able to follow along throughout a complete service with the Artscroll Children's Siddur, they not only will find age-appropriate commonly used brachas and prayers, but engaging illustrations and explanations to capture their attention during services, perhaps helping them to focus on either davening or learning how to daven, as opposed to running around, fidgeting in their seats, or leafing through more secular titles. Highly recommended, although I would think the "4 and up" age-rating is really only relevant when a parent or teacher is working with a child - it seems more appropriate to gauge it for 6 years olds and up when used by kids on their own (personal opinion).

Beautiful illustrations, easy to read text. The little extra tips/information bubbles prompt some good questions from little ones. Excellent addition to our collection and very helpful when it comes to getting morning/evening prayers done. :)

This siddur includes so many prayers and is beautifully illustrated. A great first siddur for any Jewish boy or girl.
