Our Friends the Saints (St. Joseph Board Books)

Love the saints that are used in this book!

Sweet books, my little ones love the handles.

Beautiful book to take to Mass.

My baby girl loves holding onto this book and grabbing at the pictures - I read it to her and although some of the words may not be "toddler level," I think it is important to do whatever I can to add to her vocabulary and this book will help with that while still being appropriate for very little people. I plan on buying more of these.

The book gives a short fact about each saint, and then offers a prayer that the reader may emulate whatever quality that saint exhibited. While I was quite excited about the concept of a board book of the saints, this did not fulfill my expectations at all. The vocabulary is way beyond the understanding of a small child to whom a board book is being read, and the artwork is similarly unappealing to a toddler. It's unfortunate that there aren't any great Catholic childrens' authors who can bridge that gap, other than Tomie dePaola, who just doesn't do enough board books in this realm.

grandkids are ok with it
