This book is so adorable and perfect to read to your child before bedtime. With just a few words a page, your child will love the simplicity of this prayer, along with the great pictures. "Bless the moon, Bless the stars, Bless my night-light, Bless my cars, Bless my trucks, Bless my chairs, Bless my table, Bless my bears, etc!" This has become a favorite.

I was expecting a book that would show a child what to be truly thankful for ie., food, mommy, daddy, grandparents, love...not toys, cars, trucks, teddy bears = materialistic.

I was hoping for a book that would say bless my mommy, bless my daddy and bless my grandparents. This book doesn't mention family. It mention cars, trucks, bears and bed. This is a good book but not what I was looking for before bedtime.

I prefer that Thank You Prayer by Josephine Page. The book isn't a cardboard book but it's built toddler tough. This was more of what I was looking for.
