5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Fun Resource, December 6, 2007

By	Naomi Hughes - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book so my children could learn about other religions. I recently took a college Religions of the World class and I used this book throughout my class. It simplified complex religions and made them easier for me to understand. The internet links are great. There were many wonderful sites that make it fun to learn. I will definately buy more books from this series for my children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great educational book!, September 13, 2007

By	Kenneth Baker - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a high school social studies teacher and encountered USBorne books at a teacher workshop. They are very informative and vibrant texts. The internet-linked versions are wonderful. They include numerous links that accessed through the USBorne website, not the book. This allows for dead links to be eliminated and new links to be added (even more than are mentioned in the book). The pictures are wonderful, colorful, and some illustrations can even be downloaded for classroom use. I'm very happy with this book and use it in the classroom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Colorful, fun, and accessible, November 23, 2008

By	Anicca Nirdesa (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews

This book is great for young people. They cover a lot of different traditions, including some Indigenous traditions and African diasporic religions. The book expresses complex concepts in a simplified form making it easy for young readers. I am using in a Middle School religion class. Additionally, the book has linked to relevant Internet sites which is a plus. So far, this is my favorite children's world religion text.
