[Neeli · Rating 5 out of 5]

This engaging lift-the-flap book is brimming with fascinating facts and stunning illustrations. The section on how each religion deals with death was particularly well explained for young readers who are just starting to understand such sensitive topics. Highly recommended for school or public libraries.

This book is a wonderful open minded overview of world religions in general. It is an educational text, not a religious one. There are no biases present, just the facts. It has tons of flaps to lift and learn. It will make a great addition to any classroom or homeschool that wants to look at religion from a secular /academic standpoint without touching on actual religious belief.

It provides intriguing facts about several of the most notable religions of the world. There is information on: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and several others.

This is not an encyclopedia. It is a fun lift the flap book that is detailed enough to make leaning about religions engaging but not overwhelming. It is a highlight reel of origin, history, a few major festivals, sacred places, popular gods, goddesses, people and stories, as well as each groups thoughts and common practices related to death. The goal is to introduce the ideas and concepts behind the various religions to elementary age kids. It was worth the buy.
