Customer Reviews

Cute book ...

This version of the "Hail Mary" is in modern language without the "thee's and thou's". It is a cute book for little kids with an explanation at the bottom of each page describing the portion of prayer used. My 2 year old loves it and is certainly learning his prayers! I must admit however, that while reading him the book I "read" the prayer in the traditional language rather than what is truely written. Although the book is a board book, it is a very thin board. My 2 two year old does great with it, but younger children could certainly do damage to the pages.

A Fresh New Look for a Well Loved Prayer

After looking over this book, I was pleasantly surprised to have a beautifully illustrated book with well written reflections on the Hail Mary. It is so great to see new illustrations that bring this prayer to life for the little ones who are learning to love God. It is a current, fresh look to a prayer that has been and will continue to be a constant in one's relationship with God.
