All Children

A fun and creative way for children to learn their numbers in a Catholic context. Pictures and poems by Emma C. McKean.

Questioning is the first step to knowledge. The word "fundamental" means basic, essential, deep-rooted, the foundation of a structure. In 131 FUN-damental Facts for Catholic Kids popular children's author Bernadette McCarver Snyder answers questions about basic things kids might see in a Catholic Church...and in a fun, yet reverent way. They may be surprised to see a lion or a lily, a banner or a boat, a fish or a fountain in a church. But just wait till they hear about monstrances and aspergillums, epistles and apostles, pulpits and pyxes!

This book is for all children who have questions about the Church and the adults who are looking for answers.

Paperback

Available for the Amazon Kindle:
