Produced by the Marquette Univerity Institute of Catechetical Research under the editorship of Edward A. Fitzpatrick in the 1930's, this series of Religion textbooks is a breath of fresh air. Unashamed love of the Catholic Faith is evident on every page.

Full of large, 3-color illustrations, The Book of the Holy Child is the First Grade text in the series.

The teacher's manuals for this series are called The Religion in Life Curriculum and contain not merely an answer key but an entire Religion Curriculum to accompany the textbook.
