5.0 out of 5 stars This is a "Must-Have" for your child's library!, July 20, 1998

This review is from: Prayers for Children (Little Golden Book) (Hardcover)

I had this same book when I was a little girl. I was enchanted by Eloise Wilkin's illustrations, which are alone reason to buy this book! Her style is evocative of I. Hummel. The children depicted in her drawings are so adorable! As for the prayers themselves, they are short enough for very small children to learn. You will see alot of traditional language, though. This may be difficult for a small child to understand (i.e. Thee and Thou). However, I feel this book is well worth buying!

The amazing invitation in Scripture to actually talk to the Father in Heaven through His Son, is something that every child needs to know.
The world is often a frightening place to little ones. This lovely little book, so beautifully illustrated, helps us teach little ones about a kind, good, powerful Heavenly Father Who cares and hears our prayers.
It also serves to link generations in a communal perspective because the prayers in this wee book were offered up by grandparents and parents of past generations. I am delighted that it is still available! In a world where selfish ambition drives and greed thrives, this little book directs focus to another realm and encourages excellence: God, make my life a little song/That comforteth the sad,/That helpeth others to be strong/ And makes the singer glad.

This book has been around a long time. When my grandson was little his mother and father read this book to him each night along with several books he was allowed to choose. When I visited him he asked me to read the book, even before his afternoon nap. Ageless......
