A book about saints for the littlest children

Having read the "a treasure for children" review, I can only say a hearty "Amen". Of the over 15 books of saints that I have reviewed (click on "see all my reviews for the others) I believe that this is geared for the youngest children of them all. The concepts are shared on as simple a level as possible for children who are old enough to learn about saints, but the stories are well read and darling. The reading level is also low enough for your second graders to be able to read it to themselves. Two pages are committed to each saint - one for a simple and sweet (but not syrupy) colorful picture of a saint and a short prayer that a child can say as a response to reading about the life of the saint, geared very much on a child's level of understanding and interest. I would not recommend it for the price of a collector's item. There are paperbacks of this same book available on this site. I have also reviewed over 15 other books on saints for children if you want to see the other reviews of books that I have given. The saints which are included in this book are: Agnes....... Aloysius Gonzaga....... Angela Merici....... Anne....... Anthony of Padua....... Augustine....... Benedict....... Bernadette....... Bridget of Sweden....... Catherine Laboure.......
