Author Topic: Your favorite Catholic books for young children (Read 2043 times)

Family member is expecting the birth of first child (girl).

I want to provide a library for her, of course beginning with books for young children - picture board book types.
(As she matures, I'll solicit Hobbledehoy to compile a list of his books :smile: )

I'm a bit underwhelmed with search results to date. It seemed prudent to come to the forum for advice.

Your recommendations / favorites ?

Thank you.

- Matthew, I wasn't certain which category was most appropriate for this topic. Please move as needed.

My Jesus and I
Fr. Lord's picture books of the saints
Catholic Picture Bible
My Prayer Book ( it's a small green paperback book with many very nice pictures)
Any book published by Neuman Press, Saints Stories for Boys (and Girls, two books)

My favorite for the youngest "readers":

The Saving Name of God the Son (board book)

I think the only other good Catholic board books that we have are Christmas-themed ones:

Saint Nicholas: The Real Story of the Christmas Legend

The Little Drummer Boy

Christmas in the Manger

If you can't find the right books, consider laminated holy cards on a ring, just punch a hole in the corner and make your own little book.
