Great Children's stories. Okay, a bit far-fetched. But I honestly just liked the bright pictures! We were not a "Fixture at Sunday Mass" Irish Catholic family. .... More like a "Wow You're here at Sunday Mass!" kind of Irish family. I just try not to burst into flames whenever I pass a church now! LOL
I saw this book today at a thrift store. As soon as I saw the illustrations on the front cover, the memory of this book slammed right into me.
When I was a kid, this book was always around the house. I looked through it and read stories from it many times. Maybe my parents even read stories from it to me. We were Catholics, so reading the Bible wasn't all that important to us. Probably most of the Bible story knowledge I did have came from this book. In any case, I remember the color illustrations much better than I remember the writing.
