Youth Intro to Islam

Okay, only 64 pages in length. But a lot of info regarding the "customs" of Islam: prayer, death, birth, holidays, beliefs, who is Allah, etc. Has nice details about the specific "how" a Muslim is to pray, and provides "meaning" as to why a Muslim believes something. Not any great theological book at all, but covers the "basics." After viewing a copy at the library, I'd like to buy it -- worth a couple of bucks anyway; I learned a few things. 4 stars because it is good for the many subjects it discusses: I found no "junk" items in it. (Perhaps only 1-star for its length.) An elementary-school book. It presents the "good" view of Islam; ignoring the the militant fundamentalism jihad stuff.
