Jeannie Has Done It Again

This book is great to show children that praying doesn't always mean before a meal or at bedtime. It is a great way to show children (and adults too) that one can keep a dialog with God all through out the day and that He is always available to hear our prayers. I have several of Jeannie Taylor books. She has a sweet way to teach us all that God is with us always. I love this book and so do my children. Good job Jeannie. Can't wait for your other books to come out.

An excellent book on prayer for children

This book explains to children some of the ways they might pray during the day. Erik is the hero of this book and he winds up having a number of problems when he visits the zoo with his friends. He asks himself if he is praying in each situation he encounters during the day. The illustrations are good and help convey the message the book has to offer a child. Parents ought to read it as well. An excellent book!
