Learn Thanks...Simply, March 9, 2007
This review is from: Thank You Prayer (Hardcover)
Thank You Prayer by Josephine Page is a simple way to teach young children about prayer and thankfulness. The rhyming book doesn't have a storyline; instead, it's a written prayer that contains thanks for food, "for loving me," "the world so sweet," birds, family, and children everywhere.
What I like: The illustrations, by Caroline Jayne Church, show friendly animals in vivid color. The cover of the book is padded cardboard, and the pages are thin cardboard - more durable than regular paper pages, but more like an adult book than the thick cardboard of a board book. (My 18 month old hasn't destroyed the pages yet!)
What I dislike: The prayer does not begin with a salutation (like "Dear God"), nor does it end with an "amen." Parents can easily add these on, though. I do wish the text were a bit more "deep," but the wonderful illustrations really help make up for this; my daughter's attention is held rapt when I read this book to her.
Overall Rating: Good.
Age Appeal: 8 and under.

a beautiful book, March 21, 2006
This review is from: Thank You Prayer (Hardcover)
My mother bought this book for my daughter Hannah who is 2. She loves it and we read it each night. She has memorised it and reads it to us. It is very simply put and just lovely. I have to say it is my all time favourite book. I am ordering 2 copies of it so I can give them to friends. I think it is a must.

Perfect night time prayer book, December 4, 2009
This review is from: Thank You Prayer (Hardcover)
I have been reading this to my 22 month old since infancy. He loves it! It is very nicely written and the illustrations are great and my son loves pointing at the pictures and identifying so it turns out to be educational as well. We actually ended up buying a second one because it got ripped from so much use. It is now committed to memory and that is the prayer that his dad and I say to him as we put him in his crib at night.
