Blessings Every Day: 365 Simple Devotions for the Very Young (Little Blessings) Catholic Edition

I really loved this book except for one thing . . . we are not Catholic. The blue triangle on the front cover says, "Catholic Edition," but I did not realize that until after we had bought the book. However, there is another edition of the book available that is not written for Catholics, and I was able to make the exchange. Actually, the books are very similar; but there is an occasional Catholic reference - such as the Eucharist.My daughter turned 2 in August, and I bought her this book as a Christmas gift. She was enthusiastic about reading it. However, she wanted to read more than one page at a time - tricky because the book is set up to be read daily and has a page for each day of the year. I just read them again, or use them for "catch up" when we miss a day. Sometimes, she does seem to lose a bit of interest towards the end of the reading. She is more interested in what the children are doing in the pictures which is not usually described in the reading. I think this book is probably designed more for 4 & 5 year olds as opposed to 2 1/2 year olds.

I ordered this for my nephew's baptism thinking it was the same as the book that my sons have enjoyed -- it even has the same picture on the cover. However, when I received it realized that it is the Catholic edition! It is stated in the item description, but that is under the details which is not where I paid close attention (but I've now learned my lesson.) It is a great book, though, and I recommend it. Just be sure to order the right edition so you're not stuck with the wrong edition!!

Excellent devotional for little ones. I read quite a number of devotionals before selecting this one. I have not read the entire book yet, but just from what i have read, its vastly superior to others. It deals with Bible stories and Biblical truths in an amazingly clear way for little ones. Extremely pleased so far. Too bad i had to buy a used copy. I would have loved to buy it new for every little one in our family.

What a delightful book, it is jam-packed with positive thoughts and lessons. I am thrilled I discovered it when I did and disappointed that I didn't find it sooner. I have purchased about six copies of this book. My latest purchase was a gift for my one year old great-nephew. After reading the messages daily, my grandchildren would often excitedly report back to me about it. More than once, when behavior issues came up with any of my grandchildren, 'Blessings' became a great 'Nana' parenting tool. I truly beleive that this book will become a part of their 'Childhood Time Capsule', hopefully, perhaps one day to be read by my great grandchildren.

I think it's a little "old" for toddlers, but I still read it to my 3 year old. I think the stories are told simply, but really will have more impact to children 4-7 years old. Seriously, *I* get something out of these stories. The Bible lessons are meaningful and appropriate for children. Pictures on each page are cute as well. I have no reservations on recommending this book to any parent who would like to have short and meaningful daily lessons. This is the second year we're on this book, and each day of the book is still like learning something new!

Our daughter loves going through this every night. It gives her the opportunity to hear things in a way for children. She is able to relate to what that day was talking about. Love the new addition to our nighttime routine.

Great way to introduce your child to spending time with God. Written at a young child's level and not too long so it won't lose their attention. Set in a "through the bible in a year" type format. I plan to reuse it for a couple years and repeat. My 4-year-old loves it and never lets me forget when it's time. I pair it with "Jesus Loves Me Bible Memory for Toddlers" by Patti Hummel. Perfect!

This is great! Delitful simple devotions for my class of 2 year olds.I gave it 4 stars because it wasn't new. And did have writing in it.

I bought this book for my nieces Christening and was absolutely delighted by its wonderful & charming design. The pictures are very cute and painted with love. There is a page for every day with a headline and a psalm, followed by a lovely picture and a text, which explains the meaning of the psalm to the reading child. At the end there is a 2-liner, which outlines the meaning of this days devotion, and is written in the words of the reading child. What wonderful saying for the child to have for every day of the year! I wished every child would have access to such an amazing little helper in order to understand the world, the child's position in it and God's infinite love!Example 1Headline: "With all your heart"Psalm: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, Colossians 3:23,NIV"Text: "When you need to clean up your room, have you ever shoved your stuff under the bed instead of putting it away? Even though having a clean room is not the most important thing in the world, God wants you to put your best effort into everything you do. Even if you don't do things perfectly, you'll know in your heart that you've done the best you can. And that's all God, and your parents, ask for"2-liner: "Whatever I do, I will give my best, and then I'll trust God to take care of the rest"Example 2Headline: "A helping hand"Psalm: "Don't be afraid, because I am your God. I will make you strong and will help you. Isaiah 41:10 ICB"Text: "It's not always easy being a child. Someone's always telling you you're too young or too little to do things you want to do. But God helps you grow stronger every day...... The next time someone tells you you're too little to do something, remember that God is helping you get bigger every day"2-liner: "I may be young, but every day I grow stronger in some new way"

My Son and I enjoy reading the book..its a good read for little one

I love reading this with my 12 month old before bed. Someone bought it for us & we find the daily lessons simple yet profound. It's never too early to start teaching little ones the word & we end up benefiting as well.

Bought this for granddaughter - good condition

use it every day in class prayers
