5.0 out of 5 stars Hero's for Kids, May 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Sixty Saints for Boys (Paperback)

We have been reading lives of the saints for a long time, but with the 60 Saints books the stories are seared in their brains and they ask for them over and over again. This has never happened with other lives of the saints books. The author writes in a very kid friendly manner. We have read the stories aloud with our Girls Club and have entertained kids from 5 to 14.

These stories are written out of love, and have the ability to inspire anyone to fall in love with virtue. Yes, some of the events are unprovable. But anyone who wants to know what a saint is, will get a clear and beautiful picture, by reading these accounts. The humour is precious, and enjoyable by any age. Ditto for Sixty Saints for Girls.

This review is from: Sixty Saints for Boys (Paperback)

I owned and loved "Sixty Saints for Girls" as a child, and am planning to read "Sixty Saints for Boys" to my little boy, who is fascinated by the lives of the saints. The style of these books is very British, and make take some getting used to for American readers, but the stories are unforgettable, and told in a light-hearted, joyful way.
