This review is from: 57 Stories of Saints (Paperback)

This is the new revised version featuring 57 stories aimed at older elementary and middle school readers. Each story highlights a saint or related saints in a short-story format. The stories are organized chronologically and include biographical information and the saints' feast day. Many stories also include wonderful illustrations of the profiled saints. The stories are written in lively, accessible language and each conclude with a summary thought or reflection.

This review is from: 57 Stories of Saints (Paperback)

I wanted to let readers know that I just purchased a copy of the newest edition of this book (2006) and the chapter on St. Maria Goretti has been removed. The sister at the bookstore where I bought the book said told me it has been completely revised and edited to be suitable for a younger audience. I have found the book to be a great resource for kids in the 8-12 year range. Just make sure to get the 2006 edition!

I wanted to let readers know that I just purchased a copy of this book and the chapter on St. Maria Goretti has been removed. The previous reviewer must have an old edition. The sister at the bookstore where I bought the book said told me it has been completely revised and edited to be suitable for a younger audience. I have found the book to be a great resource for kids in the 8-12 year range.
