Excellent Info
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book was purchased for my grand children, but I read it before giving it to them. It was full of easy to understand information and the illustrations were very helpful.
Very nice overview
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is an excellent book for educating children on the basics of the main world religions. Unbiased and informative. Presents a basic description of the religions, what the representative images and ideas are, and some of the holidays that are celebrated.
Treats everybody with respect

We are non-believers but we want our grandchildren to know what religion is and to respect it. This book is ideal for that purpose. It describes each religion respectfully and even admits that not everybody is a believer.
Awesome book

This is the best book on world religions for kids that I have seen. The coverage is thorough, and the illustrations are beautiful. The author shows a depth of understanding and a balanced viewpoint that are outstanding. In a kid's book, you have to cover a lot of material in a balanced way, choosing the most important points to highlight. I can't say enough good things about how well she has managed to do this. I teach middle school, and have struggled with teaching world religions to my students - how to bring out what will be the most important and relevant to them in the little time I have. This book is the best resource I've found.
