I would use this book in 3rd-8th grade as an independent read for students who want to learn more about different religions.

While looking inside the book, the book lists many different religions around the world. Religions incluced were India, the Middle East, East Asia, and Africa. It shows pictures of maps where these places are located. It also shows pictures of what the people might wear. It also shows important places that might mean something to their religions.

This book is a great guide to teach students about different religious beliefs and cultures. Many students are curious about other religious beliefs and this book takes a look at the many cultures. The students can compare them to their own cultures and beliefs. The best ages would be 3-6 and this could be used for a religion class. Students can research a certain religious belief and it shows the history and has a glossary at the end.

Cooks will find well over 100 vegetarian recipes, each identified with icons indicating level of difficulty, preparation time, cooking time, and yield. Vegan recipes are indexed, making them quick to find. No photographs are included.

World Religions is just that, an encyclopedia type of picture book all about the major different types of religions from around the world. I most appreciated that the book was informational without any bias toward one religion over another. This book gives the basics of religion, where they are practiced with paintings and photographs that enhance the information given. This book would be well used in a school to talk about the different religions around the world.

This book is an overview of the worlds’ major religions. It looks at the history, scriptures, places of worship, and festivals that are the foundations of the world’s major religions. Divided into religions from India, Middle East, East Asia, other continents (Africa, North America, Australia). The book talks about what is Religion, why people believe in religion, how some people do not believe in a god, religious symbols, calendars, maps of world religions, profiles of famous leaders, facts.
