5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Resource, February 3, 2007

This review is from: The Mass Book for Children (Paperback)

I already had Little Acts of Grace and Just Like Mary, both lovely little books, so I was surprised by the previous reviewer's rating and opinion of the illustrations. I recieved my own copy yesterday, and it is just as wonderful as the other two. The lessons are all "bite-sized" for little learners, and the illustrations are beautiful, even the one in question. There is no look of fear or apprehension on the angels faces, only sadness, which we should all feel at that moment! For helping to teach preschoolers about our Catholic faith, these books are absolutely charming, and you shouldn't hesitate at all in buying them.

This review is from: The Mass Book for Children (Paperback)

This is a really cute book that explains the mass very well. I was only a little disappointed that it wasn't more step by step through the mass. I enjoy reading it to my kids before Mass but it is not a follow along with the mass kind of book. I am still looking for a great one of those. I had one when I was a little girl and it is falling apart so I can't give it to three kids to read during church.

This review is from: The Mass Book for Children (Paperback)

I have purchased this book for my children, godchildren, and First Communion Class students! It is so wonderful to find a book that teaches children the truths of our Catholic Faith in a way that is simple yet eloquent. This book does not water down our Faith or dumb it down... The children love it.
