(4) K-3 Illustrated by Alireza Sadeghian. This is a very simple introduction to the role of prayer in many world religions. The vividly colored illustrations often include more interesting details than the bare-bones text; informative notes on major religions and on the illustrations flesh out the presentation. This volume will be useful for comparative religion studies (though there's no mention that many people choose not to pray).
