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......

My 5 year old loves to say a prayer every night and each morning. This book has prayers for all occasions. They are simple for her to remember. The illustrations are wonderful and fit in great with the prayers. She knows which are night time and day time prayers by looking at the pictures. You can never go wrong with Little Golden Books. I look forward to sharing this for years to come!

Over the years that I have taught Sunday school I have used this book on many occasions. The words in it are simple enough for small children to say and meaningful enough for us older children to use.

I purchased this book because my sister & I had the same one, growing up. It was difficult to find the edition that included all of the poems we had remembered from our chilkdhood, but this one had them all!! I am VERY pleased with this book! It is exactly as I remember! It arrived quickly in excellent condition. This book IS a bigger book (not the smaller Little Golden Books we all remember)so if you're looking for the smaller one, this is not it.

I had this exact same book when I was a child and I LOVED it! Unfortunately I love it so much that it didn't survive long enough to be handed down to my own kids so I was very excited to run across this book on Amazon. The illustrations are so sweet and the prayers are simple yet poignant. I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a Christian prayer book for their kids.

This is my favorite book for my little ones. I've read the sweet little rhymes over and over since my first one was born, but had the hard cover and some little baby hands found their way to the fragile pages!
I was so excited to see it as a board book!!

I did notice that the first poem that goes with the little boy holding the bird isn't there! If memory serves, I think it said, "Dear Father hear and bless thy beasts and singing birds and guard with tenderness small things that have no words".

Such a sweet prayer <3
But I'm very VERY happy to have this as a board book so I can hold onto it so so much longer!

This is a book that my grandfather used to read to me when I was little, and it practically makes me choke up when I read it to my daughter now. This is a wonderful book to give to kids. Even if you are not a religious person, this is a book that encourages loving behavior and what parent could not use more of that? Read it to your kids, discuss the themes within, and I feel certain you will agree that this is a great way to help your kids become more loving and thoughtful (and it does all this without being preachy or using frightening themes - bonus!).

Wonderful! This book arrived in great shape and my grandaughter is fascinated by the pictures. Thank you for keeping these classics alive! Great Artwork, just what the little ones love.
