In Let's Talk About This, Father McTeigue discusses appropriate reading for children. Why do some well-intentioned Catholics believe that children shouldn't read any fantasy literature at all? What effect would that have on a child? Father finishes with Weekend Readiness to help you prepare for the upcoming Sunday Mass.
