My Review:

Although this book is geared towards those ages 5-9, I think it would be a nice book to give to those younger so their parents can read it to them. It's simple to read and the illustrations are beautiful. It teaches children a way they can pray in simple words. It gives children the encouragement they need to talk to God. Definitely a cute book with a cute prayer!
