Thank You Prayer

This is one of my favorite books to read with my daughter. We have it memorized and sometimes we even recite it as a bedtime prayer in the evening. It is so healthy to continually give thanks for what we have. If nothing else, I want to instill this in my child. Beautiful book with very attractive artwork. It IS a short book, but sometimes the most important things can be said in very few words. Besides, it is a great tool for a pre-schooler.

I read this to my son almost every day (19 month old). It's one of the few books he will actually sit all the way through. He has also learned to say Amen at the end - very cute! I also love that the book is laminated and rip-proof.

This Thank You prayer is simply perfect. It's non-denominational, although it does mention God a few times, it's perfect for all beliefs. My daughter just turned 4 and this is a perfect book for a new reader. The words are short and simple, she reads to us! Perfect bedtime book.

Thank You Prayer by Josephine Page is a simple way to teach young children about prayer and thankfulness. The rhyming book doesn't have a storyline; instead, it's a written prayer that contains thanks for food, "for loving me," "the world so sweet," birds, family, and children everywhere. What I like: The illustrations, by Caroline Jayne Church, show friendly animals in vivid color. The cover of the book is padded cardboard, and the pages are thin cardboard - more durable than regular paper pages, but more like an adult book than the thick cardboard of a board book. (My 18 month old hasn't destroyed the pages yet!) What I dislike: The prayer does not begin with a salutation (like "Dear God"), nor does it end with an "amen." Parents can easily add these on, though. I do wish the text were a bit more "deep," but the wonderful illustrations really help make up for this; my daughter's attention is held rapt when I read this book to her. Overall Rating: Good. Age Appeal: 8 and under. Kristina Editor at "Christian Children's Book Review"

My mother bought this book for my daughter Hannah who is 2. She loves it and we read it each night. She has memorised it and reads it to us. It is very simply put and just lovely. I have to say it is my all time favourite book. I am ordering 2 copies of it so I can give them to friends. I think it is a must.
