Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - a beautiful classic
My Grandmother purchased this book for me when I was very young because she said the little girl in the pictures reminded her of me. I was instanly smitten as a child by the pictures and rhythmic verse.
I now read this book to my own children. It is part of the bedtime ritual for my 1-year-old son who loves to point to the baby in the pictures and "pat the kitty cat". There are special pages that he likes to look at for an extended time and smiles consistantly at certain pictures, especially ... Read More

We love this book and we always read it at bedtime. It is perfect for children because it is written in a way that they think. Like asking God to bless a chair and such. Too sweet!!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - First Graders Review of Prayer for a Child by Rachel Field

I recommend this book to other children because I think it is a good book, and I think they will like it too. It's ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Beautiful
THis was one of my most favorites books as a child. The illustrations are simply beautifu as is the text. My own children loved it and I am now buying it for my grandchildren. It is a simple but heartfelt prayer that is very appropriate for a very young child (and older one as well) and one that the child can understand what is being said. It just simply is a book to keep and pass down. I have to admit I bought this for myself as it brought back such memories.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Christening present
This is a classic and beautifully written and illustrated book of prayer, written from a very young child's viewpoint. It is an excellent choice for a gift upon the occasion of a Baptism. It should appeal to both grandparents, and young parents.
