This book provides twelve engaging saint stories (four to nine pages each) with a page or so of vocabulary words, comprehension questions, quotes from the saint and project ideas. Saints covered in this volume are: Saint Faustina Kowalska, Saint Juan Diego, St. Rose of Lima, St. Francis of Assisi (in two parts), Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, Venerable Fr. Solanus Casey, St. Helena, Blessed Fr. Damien of Molokai, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, St. Ambrose and Mother Seton.
The stories are nice enough to make this a stand alone book of saint stories even without the reading comprehension sections. Mrs. Woodfield has a way of including the most interesting details about the saints that I haven't seen elsewhere. Most stories are illustrated with pen and ink drawings, while modern Saints are illustrated with black and white photos. A complete answer key is included.
