From School Library Journal
Grade 3–6—These titles are touted as "accessible introductions" rather than comprehensive guides. They cover beliefs, sacred texts, history, worship, festivals, life events, holy places (except for Sikhism), and arts (except for Hinduism). The books are attractively illustrated, and each one includes crafts, a story, and a glossary, plus "Notes for Parents and Teachers" with related activities and Web sites. However, introductory books should still contain maps (none) and basic data (largely absent). The glossaries are weak, with many important words missing. Each title leaves out something crucial—Buddhism omits mantras, mudras, puja, karma, and sutras; Hinduism doesn't mention death, food, tilaks, and other forehead marks; Islam ignores wudu, clothing, Sunnis and Shias, jihad, the Hagith. Sikhism leaves out the Ik Onkar symbol (it's one of the crafts but is never identified as such), ragas, the Mool Mantra and Lavan, and the Akhand Path. Since there is no wholly adequate religious series for this age, "World of Faiths" may be needed, but should be used with caution.—Ann W. Moore, Schenectady County Public Library, NY
