Good intro to world religions for 4-year-old?

Does anyone know of a good book on the major world religions for pre-K/K kids?

Kids that young can’t understand comparative religions.

LOL!

At that age, I think I would focus on finding picture books about various holidays. Our local library has a huge section of books organized by holiday. they are hard to get when it is time for the actual holiday, but easy to grab otherwise.

I would start with this booklist:

Omg

Let me guess, you’re raising your child atheist but want them to have an understanding of all the religions of the world so they can be so totally tolerant to all of them (except christianity of course!)

What’s your gripe with that?

There are lots of lovely books of myths and fairy tales out there, and every religion has authors making picture books of their faith stories. Just mix them all up on an even footing. Don’t make a big deal out of it.

Ignore all the haters. Four might be a bit young but in a year or two they might enjoy this books like this one by Usborne. DK might also have something similar.

December holidays around the world
What I believe
Hats of faith
My religion, your religion


Also worthwhile:
Birthdays around the world
What we wear dressing up around the world
This is how we do it
Good people everywhere
Off to class
This is the way we go to school
Children around the world
Around the world in a bathtub (kids laugh continuously!)
Throw your tooth on the roof
Where children sleep
What I eat (not a children’s book, but worthwhile)

I like this child, every child and if the world were a village as well, but they’re too mature for 4.

4 is not too young to start to learn that kids are different in other places, but that each deserves the same basics: food, shelter, water, love, education.

DP. We raise our kids to be tolerant and respectful of any religious practice that does not violate the human rights of others. In the US where we live, it's primarily self proclaimed Christians who violate human rights. So, yes, we don't tolerate that.
