Reviews

Reviewed with Charles George's What Makes Me a Buddhist?

Gr. 3-5. There are many series about world religions, and they are often indistinguishable in terms of format and coverage: oversize, generic photographs; generalities with no clear delineation of how various denominations within a larger group differ. Books in the What Makes Me A . . . series use a compact format to full advantage. An attractive, colorful design is the background for a map and numerous color photographs and diagrams. But best of all is the straightforward organization and the clarity of the text. Each book in the series contains the same chapter divisions: "How Did My Religion Begin? "What Do I Believe?" "How Do I Practice My Faith?" and "What Holidays Do I Celebrate?" The solid addendum "for further exploration" offers books and Web sites that seem to be at kids' interest level. Both Buddhist and hindu serve as excellent introductions and will add historical context for readers who already follow these faiths. Ilene Cooper
