If Jesus Came To My House was First published in the US in 1951 by Lothrop & Lee, New York.
 
A little boy imagines what it would be like if Jesus came to spend the afternoon with him -- the little boy Jesus, of course, "about the age that I am and about the size of me."
 
It is easy to see why this friendly little book has been so popular. It offers the Golden Rule in concepts easily grasped by small children and indirectly suggests some ways to carry them out.
 
"I still can share with Jesus
the nicest of my toys

And though He may not visit me
as I have wished He would,
yet even so He'll bless my house
if I am kind and good."
