My toddler loves it...and I do too
My family LOVES this children's catechism! My 2 year old has already learned many of the questions with 1 and 2 word answers and she eagerly looks forward to her "catechism music book." This catechism is such a practical way to fill my young daughter's mind with foundational truths about God and the gospel as I seek to raise her up in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
We were gifted our copy by our former pastor but I recently went searching for the booklet to give as gifts to a friend and my nephew, and Rainbow Resource Center was far and away the most economical option. I don't know if it's sold here as well, but I also recommend the Teach Them the Faith CD by Dan & Karen Vitco that was created to accompany this catechism.
