Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 3-6-Colorful photographs and clear writing fill these two books. Each title begins with a brief introduction to the religion and continues with chronologically organized, single- or double-page chapters that explain the origins and customs of major celebrations. Features include stories and legends about deities (Hindu) and several prayers and passages from the Holy Qur'an (Muslim), as well as simple crafts and activities. Each page contains a good balance of text, full-color photos, and illustrations. One note of caution: younger readers may be distracted by the use of several different fonts on the same page. Solid resources that complement more general books about each religion.-Sue Morgan, Tom Kitayama Elementary School, Union City, CA (c) Copyright 2010.
