Great Baby shower gift

My Daughter gave this 'A is for Altar B is for Bible' ABC book as a baby shower gift and the new MOM was so thrilled with it. In fact, many others at the shower asked about it. It is such a delight to find the perfect gift! I hope it is released in a board book version soon... otherwise we will have to buy one to cut up and laminate for baby!

Wonderful Book

I bought this for our Godson's 2nd birthday and love it so much I think I'll get another copy for our own little girl. The thing that always bugs me about buying kids books on the internet is that I can't read them in full and know whether they fully agree with my beliefs. So for those of you who want to know what the alphabet stands for in this book, here goes: (each letter also has a lovely picture page and scripture below) Altar Bible Chalice Delight (3 wise men) Elizabeth Font Good Shepherd Hidden Treasure Isaiah Jerusalem Kingdom of God Light Mary Nazareth Oil Pearl Quiet Resurrection Simeon Temple Understanding Vestment Water and Wine X is at the end of Crucifix Yeast Zzzzzzzz ('I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.' Psalm 3:5) Hope this helps you decide!

A Is for Altar, B Is for Bible

This is an excellent book for young children, especially those familiar with the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program. The soft, luminous pictures illustrating each letter of the alphabet are inspiring and will encourage a prayerful response in young, and even older children who may already know their ABC's. I highly recommend it.

A great start to the ABCs

This book provides and excellent start to the ABCs...especially for children who attend Montessori-based Catechism of the Good Shepherd (CGS) Atrium programs. My kids recognize many of the symbols and materials from their Atrium programs.

Beautiful Book for children who know the Good Shepherd!

This is my new favorite ABC book!The book is published by Catechesis of the Good Shepherd publications and it names things commonly found in a Montessori Atrium. My children love the familiar reerences to the "work" they find at CGS. There is an image and a brief prayer drawn from scripture or liturgy. Every child will enjoy this book, but for a child who knows the Good Shepherd in the Atrium, it's a really special treat!
