Reader’s Review
An informative text that explains Muslim contributions to the modern world in many areas including art, architecture, farming, medicine and different sciences. The information and pictures will interest readers of all ages, but the large amount of writing may prevent younger readers or even preteens from reading the book on their own.
To look out for
