Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Islamic Manners Activity Book
Fatima D'Oyen · 2012
70/100
👍 Worth It
A well-produced activity book that genuinely does what it sets out to do — introduce young children to Islamic etiquette through coloring, mazes, and language activities in an engaging multi-modal format. The multilingual welcome page is a standout feature with real cultural breadth. Kirkus found the format dated, and the audience is clearly defined: this is for young Muslim children in Islamic educational settings, and outside that context the appeal is limited.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Explicitly Islamic religious educational content; families of other faiths should note this is faith-specific, not interfaith. We still scored it 70; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
