Once Upon a Time Saints is a collection of stories about the lives of the saints written as stories and not biographies to capture the attention of young children, from preschool through the early grades. Intertwined in the stories are mixtures of legend, fact, and humor, embellishing on the human qualities of the saints and presenting them as not mere statues, but real people. Reading with expression and drama, the narrator brings these stories to life, allowing us to listen to the book as it should be read, out loud. In addition, each story begins and ends with background music.

On the first CD, we hear the introduction to the book and meet seven saints, including Alice, Ambrose, Anne, and Barbara. The second CD includes nine more saints, such as Clement, Comgall, Dorothy, Genevieve, and Hubert.

If you are wondering what to do with your children on long (and not so long) trips in the car, listening to these saint stories is a nice way to keep everyone happy.
