Let me introduce you to Ryan.
He is a cute 4 year old boy who goes to church and he takes his best friend a stuffed animal monkey named Rufus with him.
Together these two are the stars of the book Rufus and Ryan Go to Church. Written by Kathleen Long Bostrom and Illustrated by Rebecca Thornburgh.
The 20 page board book is full of beautiful watercolor pictures.
The short story taking you throughout a typical Sunday in Ryan’s family, including getting ready for church, going to church and after church.
During Church services they read the Bible, pray together, sing and have snacks. Ryan is so excited to show Rufus all around church.
The book itself is sturdy and the pictures with the story keep my son’s interest.
This is the type of book I let my child take to church to keep him busy and quite while we listen. It is also the type of book for a child who maybe hasn’t been to church and doesn’t know what to expect, or one who needs a soft reminder of how to behave at church.
Rufus and Ryan have another book out too!
Rufus and Ryan Say Their Prayers.
