eg Topsy & Tim's Sunday Book

not non-fiction RE-lesson type

As memory recalls Milly Molly Mandy did go to church, but just looked in DD's MMM Big Story Book and there isn't a chapter on church-going.

Good to see you back on mnet, Mrs B Smile

Just William (and the other books) by Richmal Crompton - some of the characters go to church - I don't know whether it will be quite what you're looking for, as William misbehaves in church, entering a facepulling exchange with a choirboy and, as I recall, his pet white rat escapes, causing chaos...

Definitely recommend the Church Mice books, I used to love them as a kid (Mum put on a squeaky voice to read the mice!) and love them as an adult - all kinds of charming, quirky little details in the illustrations.

I could be completely misremembering things, but I think I recall either characters going to a church or pictures that included churches in various Richard Scarry books.

Very hazy memories at this point...

Ooh yes, Busy Town or something

Shame she is too young for little house on the prairie et al as they're perfect.

Alfie doesn't but did Shirley Hughes do something set in a village. ..

I think they go to church in Lucy and Tom's Christmas (by Shirley Hughes)

Mrs Honey goes to church in Mrs Honey's Hat.
