First sentence:

Who made you?

Acquired: Gifted a copy from ds's Godmother.

Reason for Reading:  We have been using this book as part of our religion studies every school day, very slowly, for about the past year.

A very simple yet thorough introduction to the Catechism and church teachings for youngsters and new Catholics of any age.  Simple question and answer format takes you through 11 topics starting with "Why Am I In the World" and ending with "Sin".  The final three pages present a collection of popular prayers.  Very useful and easy to understand.  Gave my son a good grounding in Catholic theology and we both memorized the ten commandments in order!  Highly recommended.
