This book has the colour illustration, textual simplicity and styling to appeal to children around the age of 7 - and all the charm and respectfulness to appeal to the adult buying the book. Designed with a fill-in page to commemorate the event, space for a photo to be stuck in and an acetate wrap to protect the white mock leather cover, it contains prayers - including many from or inspired directly by the Bible - on the themes of praising God, acknowledging one's baptism, coming to confession, taking part in holy communion, and seeking the great virtues. The book concludes with a section of appealing and reassuring blessings. This will be welcomed not only as a memento of a special day, but as a collection of prayers on which to establish an ongoing repertoire.

This book has the colour illustration, textual simplicity and styling to appeal to very young children - from the time they are 2 to about 5. It includes simple prayers, of the sort that are useful to commit to memory and to say at bedtime, along with very simply expressed statements of Christian belief that are appropriate to the age range. The dominant message is one of God's eternal love and care.

A book of sweet bedtime reflections to remind little children of God's love and care all through the night. Sweet illustrations of moons, stars, night-time creatures and child angels make this a sentimental treasure.

The twelve stories in this collection were first published as individual stories in the Bible Story Time series for 3-5s. They have now been brought together in one chunky little volume, which is great for dipping into whenever story time might happen - before bed, at nursery or Sunday school, and throughout the day. Written to engage little ones, the stories are retold simply and respectfully, with lots of bright full page illustrations to hold their interest. With 6 stories from the Old Testament and 6 from the New, families who love reading together will be able to cover the Bible favourites in a fun and engaging way.

Simple prayers and appealing illustrations make this a delight to give on the occasion or anniversary of a baptism or christening. A selection of modern and traditional blessings touch on the values that a grown-up wishes for a newly baptized child: love; joy; peace; patience; kindness; goodness; faithfulness; gentleness; self-control. The book includes a dedication page to record the date of the baptism, the name of the child, and the godparents.

This thoughtful selection of simply retold Bible stories and prayers is written especially so that young children may come to understand the faith into which they have been christened. Each Bible story ends with a simple prayer telling of God's promise of blessing, to say together and remember. Caroline Williams's gentle illustrations will help little children take the sentiment of the stories and blessings to heart, providing a warm and soft focus as adult and child share these special words together.

This book retells key episodes from the gospels simply and respectfully, and weaves them into a narrative that tells a compelling story from the birth of Jesus to his death and resurrection. The illustrations are faithful to the first century setting and are both evocative and serious, in keeping with the mood of the book. Includes a dedication page and comes with an acetate jacket to protect the beautiful white and gold cover.

This sincere book presents the traditional prayer and line by line explains its Bible origins. Drawing on passages from the Bible it sets the prayer into a wider context. It contains additional prayers - traditional, contemporary and Biblical - and makes a perfect gift for religious occasions; enhancing a child's Christian knowledge and making a beautiful addition to the bookshelf.
