Summary: Wonderful Bedtime Story/Prayer
Comment: Such a sweet little prayer for bedtime. My daughter and I have read this almost every night since she was a year old [she's now 2.5] and now we're reading it to our 9 month old.

Summary: A bedtime must-read for us
Comment: My daughter got this book for Christmas when she was just two months old. To my dismay, it would be several months before she would be content to sit in my lap and listen to me read books, but now that we do that every night (beginning at about 14 months old), "Prayer for a Child" is one of our very favorites. It is one of about four that we MUST read each night.
I, like other reviewers, disagree with Horn Book's evaluation of the illustrations being "dated." I also find them sweet and simple and beautiful.
Our paperback copy is coming apart so it's time to replace it with a hardback.
I love that this covers all the bases of prayer that are relevant to children - toys, home, family, food, friends, all the people in the world. (not necessarily in that order)
Reading this book to my daughter will be a treasured memory for a lifetime.

Summary: Prayer For A Child
Comment: Jamie Thackston; Clemson University; Review of Prayer For A Child; What exactly is a prayer in the eyes of a child? Field describes a prayer through the eyes of a little girl, but this prayer is simple enough to describe a prayer that can be for children of both genders. In Prayer for a Child, Field describes the child's prayer through words as Jones describes the prayer through pictures. Field and Jones use color to illustrate the purity and innocence of the child. The prayer in the picture book is about a girl who wants God to protect her and her surroundings. The words appear in the middle of each page. The white space symbolizes the purity of the child and God surrounding the child and watching over her and the things she prays for. The font is simple and peaceful. An angel surrounds the first word on each page. The font for this first letter is yellow symbolizing innocence. Perhaps this is the guardian angel that God has sent to protect the child. Jones uses pastel colors in her pictures to show the simplicity and innocence of the child. When the little girl is blessing the milk and bread, she appears peaceful. Jones uses yellow and white to represent the simplicity of the prayer and the blessings she has asked. The white milk and bread represent the child's purity. Next, she asks God to bless her awaiting bed. Above her bed, Jones has illustrated a picture of the child, who appears happy and content. The picture, bed sheets, and pajamas are also white. On the mantle below the picture, angels watch over the child. The pastel colors illustrate the simplicity of the book. The following page illustrates the child's actual prayer. She is in a kneeling religious position on her bed staring into the night. Twinkling stars surround the darkness of the night. The darkness represents danger that the child never faces. But Jones has stars shining through the night to protect the young girl. She blesses the lamplight and the fire because she is grateful that God has given her a chance to be warm in the winter. The child wears white winter apparel, indicating that God has wrapped her up in his security so that she will be safe. Also, on this page appears another white picture and white curtains. In the next few pictures of her parents and friends, the child's face shows her thankfulness to be around loving people who care for her. The white face illustrates the child looking out into the world through innocent eyes. Her last request is to let her sleep, wake, and be healthy. In this picture, the colors once again reflect the religious purity of the child. Field's prayer illustrates a child's purity and innocence. A simple prayer can be very powerful in the eyes of all children. Field and Jones used a very dynamic technique to focus visually on a prayer seen through the eyes of a child.
