I don't know if I had purchased this
book before or after Jenna was born. I'm
thinking before. I'm thinking 50
cents. And what a treasure. It is called "A Child's Story of the
Pearl of Great Price" by Deta Petersen
Neeley. This is a book I would love for
my granddaughters to have, but sadly it is no longer in publication. I think it would be a wise thing for the
Church publish it again.
The
particular copy that I have was published in 1954 by Deseret News Print. I think when I initially purchased the book,
it was in pretty good condition. Much
better than its present state. It looks
like it has received some water damage, and the pages have started to yellow. I need a backup in case it falls apart and I
plan to scan it in a pdf or tiff in order to read it better and perhaps I can
create a new format to give to my granddaughters - still giving credit to Deta
Petersen Neeley of course.
The book includes
143 pages of 17 chapters divided into four sections
and ending with the Articles of Faith (see here)
Big project. I have
four years before the eldest will be baptized.
I hope to have completed by then.
