Easy-to-carry compact book for small children

The stories in this book are ones I loved from my childhood, and my children love them, too. Fr. Lovasik makes the saints real people, accessible to small children, with beautiful illustrations that complement each story perfectly. The only negative concerning this collection is that the number of stories is limited....the larger "Picture Book of Saints" contains more saints, more stories, and a bit more detail. But this one is good for small children. Get the other book for your school age children.
