Youthful look at Islam

Children will like this large-page book with many illustrations and colorful photographs. But only 64 pages. Good introductory info regarding Islam; stuff regarding Islamic countries, culture, Muslim differences, Shiite v Sunni, traditions, daily life, Fatimids, Islamic Spain, Sufism, Mongols, Maelukes, Mughal empire, Fesitvals, Women, Islamism, the Hajj -- not any deep info, but brief mentioning. Hey, a booklet for young elementary-school kids. I learned a few things, too. I'd buy it with a spare dollar or two -- primarily for the extensive illustrations.
