Beautiful color illustrations dominate the pages of this overview of contemporary world religions. Popular children’s author Mary Pope Osborne leaves her tree house to present the lessons of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism in one coffee table style volume. The detailed map of the seven major religions, the timeline, and the bibliography offer students an entertaining resolution to an assignment on religion.

This book discusses different religions around the world instead of focusing on one. I think that children need to be informed and respect others beliefs.
