"Book of Mormon for Children" series

The children's books that made a difference to me when growing up were the series of three "Book of Mormon for Children." Since I'm a member of the LDS Church, my mother got these books for me when I was about 8 yrs. old. Being that Biblical text can be hard to interpret and is practically impossible for a young child to read and understand, these books are written in age apropriate language for children. It didn't take me long to read all three, and I wished there were more. Afterward, my mother lent the books to our adult neighbor; this was the first time he understood and enjoyed reading the scriptures contained in the Book of Mormon.

As a note: My mother was my school teacher during my 2nd, 3rd & 4th grades. Although she was a very good teacher and I became a prolific reader by 4th grade, we both agreed 3 years together was a bit much.
