Series Review: Religious Signs, Symbols, and Stories"...these lively and colorful books offer a breakdown of core beliefs and customs. In addition, the authors include tales, poems, prayers, excerpts from holy books, and the history behind religious symbols. Also included are easy-to-complete crafts and recipes. The books are illustrated with photographs and ornate drawings. A decorative border appears on each recto and around some paragraphs, adding attractive visual continuity."

Series Review:
"Each book in this series begins with an introduction to signs and symbols, offering readers examples of common signs and symbols in our culture. Having established meaning, the books then explore the many signs and symbols in various religions, using stories of and from the faith to help define these components...With a glossary and index, the books are easy to use and would make helpful additions to school libraries. RECOMMENDED."
