Sunday school books

Church children's texts

Sunday school books are religious educational materials designed for Christian instruction, typically aimed at children learning Bible stories, moral lessons, and church doctrine.

The term often carries connotations of wholesome, sanitized content: The romance novel was so tame it could have been one of those Sunday school books.

Something described as straight out of a Sunday school book suggests naive morality or simplistic virtue.
