Beautiful prayer book for young children - all of our children delight in it.

Love the book. I was given the translation into Danish a long time ago and am now giving both to my granddaughter. Beautiful illustrations and charming illustrations.

This book is adorable, beautiful prayer and pictures! The kids (18 months - 10 years) all enjoyed looking at it, but it was purchased for the baby in mind. She won’t grow out of it soon though, there’s enough in the words and pictures to hold her interest for years to come!

A beautiful book and lovely hardback with gold edging which was a lovely surprise. I'm very pleased. My baby and I read it every night before bed. Thanks
