(Disclosure: I received the book Rufus and Ryan Goes to Church in order to facilitate my review. All opinions shared are my own.)
My boys love reading. They have a bookshelf full of fun books for them. When I received the book Rufus and Ryan Go to Church, my 5 year old couldn't put it down. He asked me to read it to him over and over again, and I heard my husband reading it to him as well. This books is really good for little kids and teaching them what to do in church. The pictures in this book are colorful and eye catching for kids. I love the fact that it is a board book. That means it will last longer because it is more sturdy for their little hands.
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 tough 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 surrounding to their favorite companions as they go about their daily activities. This is is just one of the first titles in a new series of inspirational books for preschoolers. Also available now: Rufus and Ryan Say Their Prayers.
Here are ten tips for introducing your child to worship
1. Attend a child-friendly church
2. Bring your child to church on a day other than Sunday morning.
3. Take home a worship bulletin and go through the service at home.

5. Read the Bible and pray at home.
