5 out of 5 stars Excellent and Orthodox Introduction to Marian Doctrine   October 30, 2007
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This book packs a lot of solid Catholic teaching about Mary into simple and engaging language for young children. The book has short re-tellings of Biblical and traditional Catholic stories about Mary's life including the Immaculate Conception, her dedication to God as a young girl, the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity, the Presentation at the Temple, the Flight into Egypt, Jesus' Preaching at the Temple, the Wedding at Cana, Jesus' Crucifixtion, Mary as Mother of the Church, and praying the Hail Mary and the Rosary. This makes an excellent addition to a Catholic homeschool program or for supplementing a parish CCD program.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for parents, teachers and children   September 15, 2005
  12 out of 12 found this review helpful

I highly recommend all three books in this series (A Child's Guide to the Mass, Just Like Mary and Little Acts of Grace). I use these books frequently in my Religious Education class and also give them to my children to read during the homily. Nice artwork (simple, not traditional, but not insipid either), very simple and accurate descriptions of what the Catholic faith actually teaches and truly inspirational. I hope there will be more in the series!
