Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This sentimental, neo-Victorian rendering of the Lord's Prayer does an injustice to the psalm it illustrates. Angelic 19th century children scamper through most of the volume, observing with reverence God's luminous creations. Then the phrase "Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven" is illustrated by a picture of three wistful tykes placing flowers on their mother's grave. Similarly, the phrase "But deliver us from evil" is accompanied by a terrifying scene of a post-apocalyptic landscape, glowing red while a lone child cowers in the foreground. Parents who want to strike some old-fashioned fear of damnation into their children will be well-served by this book; other familiesreligious or notshould steer clear. All ages.

This review is from: Give Us This Day (Picture Books) (Paperback)

A great little treasure, fun to read and look at the pictures, as well as teach your child the Lord's prayer. We love to talk about the pictures to help understand the words of the prayer. It's just a lovely littel book!
