Devotional Stories for Little Folks

Help!:

• How do I protect my child against popular occult games, stories, cartoons, and card games?
• My children think it’s Mom’s job to do all the housework; how can I motivate them to help me without complaining and fighting?
• I wish my children were better about sharing; how can I teach them to be more generous?
• My children are feeling peer pressure to have the latest in designer label clothing and toys; what can I do to counter this materialistic influence?
• What do I do with a child who is reluctant to go to confession?
• My daughter is usually a good kid, but she can be so sneaky at times; help!
• How do I explain or teach any of these lessons without having my children’s eyes glaze over?

Answer: Teach your children with stories that they will love! All of these topics and more are addressed in Devotional Stories for Little Folks. This little book will say what you want to say, in a way that children will absorb. Your children will be entertained but at the same time learn eternal truths.

We know that what our children read matters, and that it isn’t always easy to be in this world but not “of it.” Devotional Stories teaches character-building lessons and guides your children toward knowledge, love, and service of God, all while providing enjoyable reading practice, phonics, and vocabulary reinforcement. 

Devotional Stories for Little Folks includes:

• Thirty-six stories
• Relevant quotations from Scripture and the Catechism for each story
• Vocabulary and comprehension questions follow each tale
• Comprehension questions designed to encourage thought and spark discussion
• Use as primary reading practice
• Use as a daily devotional
• Use stories in any order as gentle examples in moral training 
• Topical index to easily locate specific subjects
• Answer key

Use these stories daily or weekly, in order or in response to specific character issues that might need reinforcement. For example, what if you’d like to present a lesson about the importance of following directions? Look in the topical index under “directions” to locate “Yellowstone Bread,” a story about just such a lesson.

Much more than entertaining reading, Devotional Stories will inspire your child to LIVE the Faith!

Check out the prequel and sequel which are chock-full of even more funny, heart-tugging, “real-life” stories related to living the Faith within the family! And don’t miss the companion coloring book with 70 illustrations!
