This book garnered rave reviews upon its publication in 1862, even from an Anglican-dominated secular press. The "London Art Review" praised its "One hundred and twelve wood engravings, well executed, after the original designs of a distinguished artist of the Dusseldorf school," despite its object "to inculcate the doctrines of Romanism." With stunning black and white engravings on every page, "A Pictorial Catechism" seeks to teach the laws of Christ and His Church with images portraying biblical scenes. The Apostle's Creed, the Ten Commandments, the Commandments of the Church, Sin, Virtue, the Sacraments and Prayer are all brought to life with these vivid illustrations and quotes from Scripture pertaining to the precepts being taught. In this way, not only does it instruct; at the same time, it demonstrates the biblical basis for each teaching. Highly recommended in its day by a who's who of Church authorities, including Cardinal Wiseman, we have carefully restored these engravings and have improved the original layout of the book, grouping the subjects into clearly demarcated sections. The table of contents displays the tenets to be learned, while an index helps the reader find images in chronological order as they are found in the Bible. Best of all, the engravings make perfect coloring pages for children.

This First Holy Communion catechism was designed specifically with young traditional Catholic children in mind. It was put together by a Catholic author of many books, as well as founder of St. Jerome Library, and homeschooling mother of nine (with the help of her children). It was also looked over by priests for errors. This mother's hope was to design a catechism filled with beautiful full-color pictures which could better explain the beautiful mysteries of our Catholic faith without the errors that are increasingly popping up in modern day "catechisms". She found that often children are visual learners, and this catechism helps immensely with the honorable task of training children for their reception of Penance, Confirmation, and Holy Communion. This catechism is filled with pictures detailing common prayers: The Apostles' Creed, the Our Father, the Hail Mary, as well as others. It contains pictures and explanations of the seven sacraments, the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost, the Ten Commandments, and basic catechism often required in preparation for a child receiving these marvelous gifts from Our Lord. It also includes Instructions for Confession. This catechism would also be a great tool for preschoolers in helping them learn their prayers and understanding truths of the Faith. Perfect for homeschooling or teaching Kindergartners and 1st Graders. May God bless you in all your efforts to help raise saints for Heaven.Praised be Jesus and Mary!
