Rufus and Ryan Go To Church!
In Rufus and Ryan Go to Church!, four-year-old Ryan
explains to his stuffed monkey, Rufus, what is happening as they attend church
on Sunday morning. He lets Rufus know when it’s time to sing and to pray and to
be quiet.
Author Kathleen Bostrom brings a delightfully light touch to the text
as she provides an introduction to an experience that most children are exposed
to long before they understand why. And children everywhere will relate to the
idea of explaining their surroundings to their favorite companions as they go
about their daily activities.
This is just one of the first titles in a new series of
inspirational books for preschoolers.

My Review:
This is an absolutely adorable book. Although my children are technically too old for this book, with my youngest being 5 1/2 years old, I wasn't sure what they would think. But both of my girls love the story, the cute little monkey Rufus and enjoyed reading this book with each other over and over.
I know my sister in laws would both love to have this story for their little ones - it will be hard for me to pick only one of them to pass this book on to!
Ryan learns what happens when his family attends church and as he is learning, he is telling his stuffed monkey friend, Rufus, what he is learning about how to behave in Church.
This is a wonderful read for families that attend regular worship services and would like to reinforce the "good behavior" to younger children in a fun and entertaining way. Plus it is just so cute!
