My daughter received this book for her First Communion. We just finished reading it together and I don't know who learned more. The story kept us both entertained. She could identify with the children in the story and loved the 'mystery' aspect. The explanation of things found in the church and the Mass, though detailed, are kid-friendly. I just love everythning about this book and highly recommend it.

This book is a must read not only for children who are about to make their First Communion, but for the parents of the children as well. It's an easy to read book that takes you step by step through the process of this special day in their lives. Children will love it not only for the writing, but for the beautiful illustrations. Parents will love it because it's a wonderful refresher course as they recall their own First Communion.

I bought this book as a gift for my daughter's birthday so she would have it before she made her First Communion. We read one or two chapters a week as a review of her CCD program (to ensure we covered any gaps). She enjoyed the story and loved filling in the memory pages at the back of the book. What a wonderful Catholic resource! Highly recommended. Also consider getting the companion book Today I Made My First Reconciliation.

I was looking for a gift that would serve as a momento of my daughter`s First Communion. This book hit the spot! It is a beautiful hard covered book with colourful illustrations. It explains the `process` of communion, reinforces the lessons taught during the preparatory course (the proper terms for typical Church items, for example), as well it has several pages for personal souvenirs: pictures, pages to be filled in regarding guests, priest`s name, etc.

This is a beautiful book!

Great! My niece loved this Book and couldn't put it down the entire day. We wrote in it together the day before and then on the day of she read it with other girls her age at her party. It will be a great memory for us to share in years to come!

Very good book for kids getting ready for their first communion. It tells them about it in a way that keeps the them wanting to read more of the book. It also has a memory section for when they do their first communion. Another thing that I really liked about the book is that it has a glossary and explain what the church has inside.

I bought this book for my daughter's First Communion. I also bought 4 other copies to give to my niece and some of my daughter's friends who were also making their First Communion. My daughter and I have filled out the back memory section which is such a nice reminder of her special day. There is room for comments, feelings and pictures and mementos. I began reading the story to my daughter, but haven't finished it. She enjoyed looking at the map of the church and discussing it. The only reason I'm giving this book 4 stars instead of 5, is because the story didn't keep my daughter's interest. However, I believe this is because we have really discussed all aspects of the sacrament before Holy Communion. The children in the story are searching for the mystery of the Eucharest. My daughter already understood the mystery. This would be a great book for preparation and then used as a memory book.

This is an excellent gift idea for First Communion. It is a good teaching tool to enhance the faith-understanding of children and parents at this important milestone for the child.

A greaat book to enhance a child's preparation for such a memorable and special day.

To be honest, I gave this item a low rating based on the condition it was in. The book wass poorly packed and had damage to corners. I can't rate the book itself as I returned the book as soon as possible and did not bother to look at it.
