Perfect for young children learning about diversity in their world.

This is exactly what I was hoping for. It gives enough information to keep the attention without getting into too much detail about each religion. My 9 year old son is enjoying reading it with me.

A decent overview of world religions, but definitely skewed towards western (Christian/Jewish) religions and traditions. The very obvious overlook of Native American religions and little coverage of non-western religions were significant drawbacks. I was expecting a relatively equal, solid overview of the major existing religions, and this book did not deliver. I did however like the overview of what religion is and the map of where specific religions are primarily practiced.

As an aside, which is clearly not relevant to what the author intended, a brief introduction to historic religions (Aztec, Egyptian, Greek, Nortic, etc) would have been ideal.

My son has been curious about religions. This book is an excellent read to understand everyone's religions and celebrate differences.

This is such a great book for adults to share with their curious children. We are not church-goers, nor super religious. However, we are very spiritual and always try to do things with love and respect for all people, races, and religions. I strongly feel this is an enlightening book to try to help kids understand family and friends' holidays and gatherings that we may not necessarily follow in exactly the same way.
