The first two novels of Mother Mary Eaton are united in one single volume. The subtitle describes The Little Ones as "A Course of Religious Instruction for Children Up to Eight Years." The religion For youngsters then picks up where the last book left off, offering the Catholic religion to youngsters aged seven to fourteen.
Mother Eaton, who has spent a career teaching children and training teachers, provides a strong foundation for mothers and catechists in these volumes, with basic guidelines for technique as well as anecdotes that are helpful for teaching principles.
