A Catholic Child’s Picture Dictionary has been planned as a first dictionary for the young Catholic to use at home or in school. This beautifully illustrated and easy-to-read book will be an invaluable tool to aid the child in his search for the exact meanings of religious terms and in their understanding of the Catholic faith. Among the many attractive features of this book are:

• Definitions of more than 400 words of Catholic interest.
• Simple words, short sentences, and large type that make the book easy to read.
• More than 350 beautiful, full-color pictures that aid the child’s understanding of the definitions.
• Emphasis throughout on Catholic practices in daily life.
• A carefully selected list of words chosen from Catholic sources: prayers, Bible stories, the catechism, and Catholic school books.
• Facts concerning the life of our Lord.
• Interesting text that defines words, encourages the child to read, guides them to correct spellings, and aids them in creative writing.
• Explanations of important truths of the Catholic religion.

• Simplicity of arrangement that introduces the young reader to the mysteries

By Robert Hugh Benson.

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 Robert Hugh Benson.
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.
