This is a nice book for a young Catholic child (ages 4yrs and younger). It has a handle which is nice for carrying the book to church.This book gives a basic understanding of the mass highlighting the Eucharist. My only problem with the book is the illustrations. Though they are beautifully drawn, all the people including the priest look down right forlorn. I wish they were drawn to appear happy (even a slight bit) as they sing and receive Jesus in the Eucharist. Isn't this enough a problem in today's real world?Basically, a cute book for the very young...but I can't get past the saddness drawn on the faces.
