The Works of Mercy

The illustrations are so clear and engaging that my 6-year-old could follow the corporal works of mercy on her own. It's a solid, compact size perfect for little hands during our family prayer time.

My kids actually sat still through the whole thing, and the way the book pairs each mercy with a simple example made it easy for them to understand. The seven spiritual works are covered too, which I didn't expect from such a slim volume, and it's perfect for our family rosary time.

The illustrations are classic and the text breaks down each corporal work so clearly that my six-year-old finally understands what feeding the hungry really means. It's the perfect length for bedtime, not too long, and the softcover has held up well after weeks of nightly reads.
