Catholic Review of: Leading The Little Ones To Mary

I received Leading the Little Ones to Mary, as a gift.  It has proven itself to be the gift that keeps on giving.  The chapters, with their separate talks, in the book are written so as to be perfect size for daily family devotional time.  

 You can purchase this book here.

We read Leading the Little Ones to Mary in the afternoon, over a light snack.  Each story is enriching and written in such a way as to keep the children’s attention and interest. My children love this book.  

Leading the Little Ones to Mary covers subjects such as Mary at home, church, school, at play, the Rosary, Christmas, the Miraculous Medal, and much more. Each story also builds upon the one before it each teaching of virtue, faith and encourages a heart of virtue, charity and service in our little ones.

Each chapter is written in an uplifting, interesting way that engages and edifies both parent and child alike.

After each daily devotional, the children are lead through a prayer, Consecration to Mary.  We prayed this each day we read the book and continue to pray this consecration daily.  How wonderful that my children consecrated themselves to Jesus through Mary at such a young age.  The prayers high points:

• Dear Holy Mary, I know that you are looking for Little Marys (or Mario)
• I do want to be a little Mary (or Mario)
• I promise that I will act like you, pray like you, play like you, obey like you, help like you and, share like you.
• Please help me to keep my promise.

Again, I feel so blessed to have been given this book and recommend any Catholic mother, with young children read this to their children!  I recommend this book for all Catholic children before they receive their First Holy Communion...  They can certainly enjoy it after as well, but most certainly, before then.
