Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to review this book for my honest opinion and review. This was a cute book for little ones to have their parents read to them either as a prayer read over them or to have the child repeat after them. Each entry comes with a question to think about and discuss. All of the entries are age appropriate.

This is such a sweet little book! My kids are very young and just starting to enjoy taking turns praying. This book helped them learn some easy formats and basic ideas for how to talk to God. It definitely eased their nerves and encouraged them to be open and honest with their prayers. They really enjoyed this, and I would recommend it for church libraries and families with young kids.

This was a very sweet bedtime prayer book. Short and simple with just the right amount of reading to capture my four year old’s heart before settling for bed. We enjoyed reading each night together and I would recommend to other moms of littles.

This is a book of short devotional a that would be great as a daily devotion with your young children. Although the book is titled 3 Minute Bedtime Prayers, I found that they didn’t take more than about a minute to read and would be great over mealtimes or nap times as well as before bed. An easy way to introduce your children to a daily scripture verse, prayer and devotional and there are some “Think About It” prompts at the end which could lead to a discussion with older children. Overall a nice devotional.

I received this book from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for my review. My opinions are my own.

Fantastic prayer book for parents to read with kids! It is short enough to hold their attention, but still has some deep messages/ thoughts behind each. I really recommend this to all parents with kids ages 3 or 4 to 10!

I found this book very helpful for teaching children how to pray. The prayers are pretty straightforward for a child to understand. Plus she added thoughtful question after each prayer for children and parent to discuss. These prayers are ones that can be read over and over again and hopefully giving children the encouragement to pray on there own. #NetGalley gave me an ebook ARC, but this review is of my own admission.

Author, Jean Fischer, is a former editor for Golden Books, has written with Thomas Kinkade and John MacArthur, and for Adventures in Odyssey. This book of children's prayers is meant for families of toddlers to preteens. Featuring a bible verse, prayer and a "Think About It!" question for discussion and reflection. This is a precious book for family devotional time.

3-Minute Bedtime Prayers For little Hearts by Jean Fischer is a beautiful book of prayers for little children. This book is a wonderful resource to teach children the spiritual discipline of prayer. This book has over 150 prayers with different topics like *God Made Me, * I Can Talk With God, *Family, Friends and Neighbors, * God Is Mine Forever for the child to choose from. Each page starts with a Bible verse then a small prayer that relates to the topic and at the bottom of the page asks a "Think about it" question. This is a wonderful biblical tool for parents and would make a great gift for any child.

This book is simple and cute. Parents can use it as a daily bedtime routine, or teachers at circle time. Children learn a lot when they have a pattern to follow. A useful tool for families and kindergartens.

This book was very cute. Each section was short enough for my toddler to follow while containing truths deep enough to engage my older ones. I feel like this would be a welcome addition to any home library and a welcome new bedtime routine.

This was filled with excellent prayers, including a bible verse and "think about it" question for each, that is short enough to engage a child but still powerful in its message. I think this would be good for both younger and older children, as the think about it question can start a discussion with an older child.

This book shares a scripture, short prayer, and discussion topic. Each are perfect for children as young as 2 or 3 to say out loud and talk about. The discussion questions, titled "Think about it!" are simple enough to talk about with little kids, but older children would also be able to ponder and learn from them.
Thank you to Barbour Publishing, Inc.-Shiloh Kidz and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This book has a bible verse, a prayer and a Think About It. The prayers are very easy to understand and the Think About It would be perfect for the older child. This would be the prefect way to end the day with your children. Thank you Barbour Publishing Via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

The illustrations in this book are so cute! Each prayer has a really great message in it and is short enough to keep my kids attention, which can be especially difficult right before bed.

This is a wonderful little book of affirming and uplifting prayers for young hearts. Written in a manner that is simple yet engaging, it would make a great addition to any bedtime routine. While the prayers are short enough for my toddler to participate in, the "think about it" section prompts conversations that even my 10-year-old was able to contribute to. I would highly recommend this to families with kids of all ages as a way to draw together at the close of the day.
