My review: I liked this book. I liked sharing it with my Godchild, and my nephew. The words were a little elaborate for 5 year olds, (like obeying commands, they just know to do what they are told lol.), but they understood what was being said. They liked getting a hug, and they really liked the beginning when God created everything. The book was a great start to catechism next year! They had questions about God and Angels, and I thought that it was great to answer their questions and then hug! The layout of the book was almost like a scrapbook to me. It also asked questions and told the answers to the kids to engage them in the book.
The stories are nice and short and are perfect for bedtime. I would definitely recommend this during Lent and all year round!
I got a copy of this book in exchange for a review, all opinions are my own
