This is a charming introduction for Catholic kids into the rituals of their religion and the physical properties of the churches where they will worship. Includes a picture dictionary.
What a great book. As others have said, not just for the little ones. I wish I had this when I taught CCD. Very informative and the kids enjoy reading it. Other books, religious and otherwise, could use some of the teaching tools in this book. For instance, new and unfamiliar words are stated with a sounds like word (pyx rhymes with six). Also, when showing the aerial view of the church the author tells the kid to imagine they are a bird flying overhead. I wish my 4th grade geography teacher would have used that one. Last but not least, the illustration is beautiful.
I felt guilty reading this it was so good!

I have to say that this book is so informative and it isn't just for children...I would give this book 5 stars as it explains just about everything that a child could ask a parent. I believe that it keeps the attention of the child because it is very colorful and it is contemporary.
A superb educational tool for Catholics everywhere

Well written and illustrated

The authors and illustrator have made a potentially complex and confusing subject, easy to read and understand. The book is extremely helpful to those interested in the basics of the Catholic church and what goes on inside the walls, and what the various articles of clothing and objects mean or stand for.
