Special Edition for Boys!
In this brand new edition adapted especially for boys, readers will find the tale of Dilectus and his friends every bit as charming and instructive as before--and now boys as well as girls will find it easy to become the hero of the story and make it their own!
Though initially intended to help with a child's preparation for First Communion, we highly recommend reading this story once a year--even for adults!--especially during the seasons of Lent and Advent! After finding a set of parallel French translations of this book--one for boys, one for girls--both were released to bring this classic to a new generation of young Catholics!
You can find the version for Catholic girls HERE!
+++++
The King of the Golden City is an allegorical tale which has stood the test of time because of the beauty of its symbolism and the richness of its spiritual advice. Written for children yet beloved by all, the only complaint lodged against it has been that its main character is female, leaving many boys to feel that this tale is better suited for girls. Encouraged by the original French translators of this book, who created parallel editions for boys and girls, we have now remedied this single fault!
Check out a brief version of this book originally appeared in Mother Loyola's first work, The Children's Charter, her book of advice for parents and teachers published in 1911.
BONUS: Use our Discussion Guide to help this book create fruitful family conversations!

from 6089 reviewsLove these so much! My only regret is that I didn’t buy more.
Love him. What about making an altar girl?
I will ne giving this as a gift to our grandson in November. He is a fan of the Fr. Leopold bricks and items.
My students each enjoyed coloring a page of this book. We have added their artwork to our classroom library.
They are very cute although I think they are quite expensive for the one Lego alter boy. I like them and I ordered 2 but they are pricey
Cards arrived before our trip to Rome.
Beautiful and informative cards. Thanks!
Finally Fr. Leopold has an altar server. Thanks! My grandson loves this brick set.
Loved these cards! Perfect for all ages.
I have one of each of the Altar Boys, because God created us all and they are all absolutely adorable. Thank you for the idea to make these special chilrden.
These cards are perfect for making the next generation of saints!

Fits right in! When will we have an altar girl??
Loved that they made a special version just for boys!
Good edition for boys. Smaller and doesn’t have color pictures but that doesn’t detract from the story.
This is a gift for my grandson who will make his First Communion soon. I know he will love it!
