"Prayer means spending time with God" This simple statement opens up this great introductory book about prayer for young children. The book consists of twelve questions and answers such as:

- Who is prayer said to?
- Does a prayer have to have special words?
- Is there a special time to pray?

Parents will find this book format to be excellent for their inquisitive little ones. Adults may benefit from the clear, simple language as well!

In this series of the books, the illustrations are superb.

Q: If you ask God for things, do you get them?

For example, the illustration under this question is a great learning tool. An excited little boy stares longingly at a shiny red bicycle in the store window. On the next page, the little boy has decided to get a ball that was in the same store window. He is having loads of fun playing ball with his friends! Very nice way of downplaying the "give me" attitude, but instead emphasizing God is about love and sharing. This book series definitely provides great teaching as well as cool reading!

This is an excellent book on teaching kids about prayer. It deals with questions kids ask about prayer such as how do you sit, where do you pray, and what words should you use. It uses simple words small kids understand but does a great job of explaining the answers. Pictures are cute and colorful. I highly recommend this book if you want to teach your kids about prayer.
