Top review from the United States

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2005
This is an enjoyable book written for young children at a second or third grade reading level. There are colorful pictures on every two pages that the younger children can look at.
I agree with the information on this book on the cover jacket; "In this wise and gentle book a gifted storyteller recounts the legends of ten holy people...Ann Petry has told their heroic stories with dignity, capturing the flavor of their times and their spirits. Anne Rockwell's illustrations sparkle with life and loving humor."
The saints whose lives are illumined in this book are:
Blaise ....... Catherine of Alexandria ....... Christopher ....... Francis of Assisi ....... Genesius ....... George ....... Joan of Arc ....... Martin DE Porres ....... Nicholas ....... Thomas More
