Written in the spirit of the other bestselling titles in the Child’s Guide series, this volume explains in child-friendly language the sacrament of baptism. We meet Anthony, a young boy whose baby brother is about to be baptized. Anthony eagerly invites the reader into his church and explains the importance of this once-in-a-lifetime sacrament.
He leads readers through the baptismal ceremony step-by-step, describing the events through his own eyes. Throughout the book are interactive questions encouraging discussion between the child and parent or teacher: “Do you know why you have the name you do?”; “Do you know the name of your godparents?” When the time finally comes to baptize little James, Anthony proudly joins in the responses with the rest of the group.
Written in clear, simple language, this book:
–has vivid full-color illustrations throughout –can be either read to children or used by beginning readers –is a meaningful gift from parents and other family members –is the perfect teaching tool for use in Catholic schools or parish CCD classes
Ages 5-9.

Child friendly, May 3, 2008
By Maggie Smith “Maggie” (Geneva, IL) –
This review is from: Child’s Guide to Baptism (Hardcover)
I was able to review book with my grandson before his baptism. He is 2 1/2 years old. The way the book presents baptism made it easier for my grandson to understand the sacrament. The book helped to lessen my granson’s fear and anxiety of water being poured on his head and then being blessed with oil. Child’s Guide to Baptism (Child’s Guide)

The definitive guide to raising vegetarian and vegan kids, May 26, 2003
By Melanie Wilson “mongoliamel” (USA) –
Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: Raising Vegetarian Children : A Guide to Good Health and Family Harmony (Paperback)
Joanne Stepaniak and Vesanto Melina have created a much needed resource to serve parents and families, caregivers, and medical practitioners alike. After a thorough introduction discussing all aspects of vegetarian food and life choices (emotional, community, and psychological), the authors give a sound nutritional introduction. They then offer advice chronologically, beginning with nutrition for breastfeeding moms and continuing through introducing solids and feeding picky teens. The authors take a very down-to-earth approach, offering advice for parents of kids who are feeling alienated, or who want to eat meat away from home. Each stage of life has different nutritional concerns. Stepaniak and Melina address the stages with age-specific menu plans using recipes from Part 3 of the book. The authors begin Part 3 by giving some helpful cooking recommendations for new or aspiring “healthy” cooks. There are many easy-to-prepare, kid-friendly recipes, replicating non-vegetarian favorites. Not all recipes have a 100% whole foods approach, and some include ingredients like “veggie dogs” or “veggie meats.” The recipes range from beverages and breakfasts to snacks and entrees. All of the recipes include nutritional information, even the desserts. The book also has a very well organized index that makes it easy to pick up and find a piece of useful information. Raising Vegetarian Children ends with a large resource guide and bibliography, so those who want to dig deeper also know where to go.– Reviewed by Amy O’Neill Houck

A Vegetarian Bible, February 18, 2003
By Mimi G. Clark (Vegan Cooking Instructor, Fairfax Station, VA) –
This review is from: Raising Vegetarian Children : A Guide to Good Health and Family Harmony (Paperback)
Raising Vegetarian Children, A Guide to Good Health and Family Harmony, by Joanne Stepaniak and Vesanto Melina, is a comprehensive guidebook that provides a practical plan for making sure your child’s diet is nutritionally adequate. The first two hundred pages are devoted to the basics: ethics, family and relatives, being different, eating out; Vegetarian Nutrition 101 addresses the Total Vegetarian Food Guide, which is a vegetarian’s answer to the tired meat and dairy-laden food pyramid. Nutritional needs for all age groups from birth to teens are addressed in precise detail, from nursing moms, supplements, picky eaters, and finger foods, to “the unique needs of teens,” including nutrition for athletes, healthy skin, body image and eating disorders. Over one hundred pages are devoted to kid-friendly recipes such as Fabulous French Toast, Cheez-A-Roni, Crispy Tofu Fingers, French Bread Pizza, Fajitas, Tacos, Oven Fries, German Chocolate Cake, Fruit Popsoycles, over 20 sandwich spreads/fillings, and my 13-year old vegan daughter’s favorite, The Very Best Chocolate Chip Cookies. The vegetarian community has long awaited this primer, and like all other books by Stepaniak and Melina, this one does not disappoint.
