A festive missal for children—that's what "Getting Ready for Mass" amounts to. The book opens with a short but valuable introduction to the different parts of Sunday's liturgy. For each Sunday of the year and several feast days, it provides the readings in abbreviated form, and the complete Gospel. Each Sunday explores a particular theme through cheerful drawings to color in, word games, and a variety of activities. It's designed for school-age children, ideally with support from both catechists and parents.
