About this listen

What happens when bedtime prayers take a silly turn?

A warm, funny, and faith-filled picture book about learning to talk to God—even when the words come out all wrong.

At bedtime, one little boy tries to pray just like Mum (or Mom) taught him—but instead of thank yous, he blurts out, “Can I have rice and stew?”

What follows is a whirlwind of imagination, ice cream, and giggles—leading to a surprising discovery about how deeply God loves to listen.

With joyful rhymes, Oops! I Prayed for Ice Cream helps children grow in faith by:

  • Understanding that prayer isn’t about perfect words
  • Discovering that God delights in honest, childlike prayers
  • Growing in confidence as they talk to God every day

Perfect for:
Christian bedtime routines
Ages 4–8
Parents and teachers introducing children to prayer
Fans of fun, faith-filled stories with a gospel heart

BONUS: Includes a simple bedtime prayer

A joyful reminder that God listens—with love—whether your child’s prayers are peaceful, playful… or sprinkled with ice cream.
