Review Summary: Very nice overview	Date: 2007-11-13


Details: 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.

Review Summary: Biased Presentation	Date: 2007-10-19


Details: With the five star reviews I hoped to get a completely fair and balanced presentation of the world's religions, but what I received appears to be biased towards Christianity. I say, "appears," because the differences between presentations are very subtle, but compare how positive the pictures are between the section on Christianity and Buddhism and I think you'll see the difference. Maybe it was too much to expect a completely objective overview in a children's book. The book is still usable to teach children with, but requires a bit of explanation to insure an equal treatment. However, if you are Christian you should be very happy with this book.

Review Summary: Good Illustrations	Date: 2006-02-27


Details: Didn't read the book through yet, only some parts. With children this book is something that you occasionally want to have a look at whenever you or they meet children from other cultures. What I like about the book are the many illustrations. That makes it interesting for kids.

Review Summary: Treats everybody with respect	Date: 2005-07-20


Details: 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.

Review Summary: Awesome book	Date: 2005-04-16


Details: 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.
