Big children and small will be inspired by the rhymes and the profuse use of line drawings, to make it both simple and smart, throughout the book. The child is invited to “learn by heart” the whole Rule, not only a part. The beautiful line drawings follow a brother and sister throughout their day, when they awake, go to Church, eat their meals, learn their lessons, and have family time. The simple yet charming rhymes will teach a child how to act in Church, what to do when tempted, what to do when troubled, and much more. A real treasure for young and old!

By Mgr. De Segur.
This book is a brief primer to introduce young minds to the important but often difficult to explain concept of prayer. In easily understood passages, Msgr. De Segur enlightens us on what it means to pray, why we must pray, how we must pray, and when we must pray. Further, here are made the important distinctions between traditional prayers and the intimate relationship with the Creator that must be fostered by children early in life to ensure a lasting faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Originally printed in 1905.The twenty-six SAINTS in this volume of rhymes
Lived in various places and various times;
But now they're together in Heaven, and know
All we think, say and do in the world here below;
And since all that you ask - if you pray for good ends -
Will be granted by GOD at the prayer of His friends,
You should call on these SAINTS in the days of your youth
For the Peace of the Church and the Triumph of Truth.
We hope, as these Rhymes are the best we can do,
That the SAINTS will be pleased, and that you'll be pleased, too.

The Wonderful Christmas of Theresa
by Brother George, F.I.C. Impr 1944.
Theresa was a young girl in a poverty stricken family, with a dying mother and no money to buy needed medication. It would seem that only a miracle could solve this problem, and that is what she got, but in a such a way one would not expect. This book, written at a child’s level, is very sentimental and will touch young and old alike. Parents can read and discuss this book with their young children as many moral lessons are brought out.

Illustrating the Catholic Catechism.
The great value of illustrations in teaching children and the uneducated is universally acknowledged. Examples stimulate the imitative instinct, consequently they are a powerful factor in education. The examples in this book are taken from newspapers, schoolbooks, volumes of sermons, and spiritual works and have been arranged and adapted to serve the desired end.

Preface by Rev. Augustine f. Hickey, S.T.L.
Imprimatur and Nihl Obstat, 1918.
Featuring 67 black/white line drawings.
From the Preface:
The problem of leading young minds to a realization and appreciation of the revealed word is solved most satisfactorily in the adoption of the story method. Every child instinctively loves a story. In gratifying this natural desire no narratives are more vivid, more appealing, and more valuable than those which graphically recount God’s merciful dealings with mankind. To bring the child to an active and enthusiastic knowledge of the sublime facts in Bible History is to give him a glorious background upon which he will be eager to sketch out his own eternal destiny. The impressive array of divine truths inculcates many compelling moral lessons. Each brief event makes its own contribution of love and inspiration, strengthening the sense of religious responsibility in the child. The delightful simplicity of the presentation of the eternal inheritances of man cannot but make a direct appeal to Catholic educators! Nothing which is helpful has been overlooked or forgotten. The illustrations, 67 total, that crown each story is an attractive centre wherein the child will see in clear vision all that the story tells.180 pages, size 4.5" x 7".
