Summary: Christian Heroes for Every Day
Comment: "Saints for Young Readers for Every Day" is an excellent two volume collection of short biographies of saints featuring at least one for each day of the year. Each entry contains some facts about the life as well as some details of the importance of his work as well as the timing and circumstances of his or her canonization. The entries are one to two pages in length. Many include an illustration of the saint. The whether the saints are among the very popular or the obscure, their stories are delightful.

Although this collection is skillfully written for children, it is of interest to adults too. For anyone who is around children this set is an excellent resource. I have used it on many occasions to acquaint my own children with our Christian heroes. Whether you are seeking information about a child's patron saint, the saint whose feast is on a child's birthday or just a chance to introduce a child to a saint's story, you will find what you seek in these books. In addition to our usage in the home, my wife has used them in her Parish School of Religion classes.

"Saints for Young Readers" is a wonderful set which deserves a place on the shelf of every Catholic elementary school as well as any Catholic home in which children are being educated in the faith.

Summary: Short bios and wonderful ideas for living the virtues
Comment: The book has a saint for each day, with a biography that takes only a few minutes to read. After the biography, there is a point to reflect on regarding a virtue that the saint particularly excelled in or regarding a situation this saint encountered in his or her life.

One of our daughters started reading this out loud to her younger brother and sister in the evening after the lights went out and I love this tradition. It introduces the childern to the saints of our faith.

What I really like is that the reflecting points, from time to time, mention contemporary items like computers, videos, and stereos, so they are not staid. The suggestions are wonderful, instructing the reader on how to live a certain virtue and asking for the saint to help the reader with their daily struggle in this area or that area.

I have seen many "Saint of the Day" books for kids and this is the best set of books (Vols.1-2). Great for First Communion gifts.
