This paper compares children's books that were written for Muslim, Jewish and Christian children. The speech and behavior of the characters, the settings, themes, prayers, and references to G-d and scripture, make present to the reader ideologies on which the books are based. The books share characteristics of the importance of community, family life and generosity of spirit. The degree to which these are based on scripture and prayer, or the expected outcome of a faithful life, differs among the faith communities. (Contains 1 note.)
