Catholic Encyclopedia for Children

Fascinating stories and whimsical illustrations delight children as they discover the basics of the Catholic Church! Here are the great people and events of the Bible, the life and message of Jesus, the history of the early Church, the stories of the saints, fundamental Catholic beliefs and practices, and more.  The format is similar to a storybook, with information presented in a topical style, rather than alphabetically. Whether they're listening or reading, youngsters will keep an eye out for "Icthus," the friendly fish who acts as their guide all through the book.
