Mary Manz Simon

Concordia Publishing House, 2006

Easy and quick devotion time with your child

+ Excellent for my 2yo daughter

We really enjoy this book. The 'lessons' are short - short enough even for 2 year olds. And there's always a very short prayer at the end. Again - short enough even for 2 year olds. I highly recommend this book as a way to introduce young children to daily devotions.

Both of my kids loved this book (they are now 6 & 8). I am saving it for my grandkids. I have recommended it to several parents whose children "want to sleep in their bed."
