These books offer basic descriptions of the three religious holidays in a beginning reader format with stiff illustrations in subdued colors.

Christmas covers customs in eight different countries. Hanukkah and Ramadan contain glossaries. [Review covers these On My Own Holidays titles: Ramadan, Hanukkah, and Christmas around the World.]
