Customer Reviews

Good for multiple ages

I bought this book 1-2 years ago for my godson, who is almost 6. It took him a while, but he loves it. I am now buying a second book b/c his sister, who is 3, also loves it, and they argue over the book during mass. :) They both like it a lot. I like it b/c it shows people of all different ages, races, and abilities attending mass.

Good for 1st graders

I used this book in addition to the textbook for my first grade PSR (CCD) class this year and then sent it on to my kindergarten aged granddaughter. This is a well written book for children with delightful illustrations. It doesn't go into the why but that is something that can be added by parents or teachers. I found the book most helpful and recommend it for both home and PSR use.

Just right for young children

I liked this book because the pictures and writing reflect the experiences today's children will have at Mass. All the different parts of Mass are covered and explained clearly and simply. The illustrations are attractive and comparable to well-produced picturebooks, unlike some earlier unprofessional Catholic publications.

What's He Doing, Mommy?

This book explains the mass in simple and clear terms, with an insight that would be helpful for casual Catholics too. My French grandson-age 4- was fascinated by the celebration of Mass during a recent visit.He insisted that his mom explain everything that the Priest said. I bought this book so that he and his little sister could remember our religious celebration. Both of the kids love this book and insist that my daugther read it to them most nights.
