'Hinduism, one of the world’s oldest religions, boasts one main god, Brahman, whose different parts are depicted through thousands of other gods and goddesses. This selection from the World of Gods series (4 titles) provides a terrific introduction to Hindu mythology that focuses on six of these deities: the Trimurti (a group of three gods) and the Tridevi (a group of three goddesses). Enhanced by vibrant digital illustrations and colorful reproductions and photographs, each profile uses high/low text to describe the god's or goddess’ importance, including their key symbols and traits. An accompanying story elaborates on their role in the world. For instance, the creation story of Lakshmi shows this goddess of beauty and wealth rising up on a lotus flower from the Earth’s oceans when they were made of milk.', Angela Leeper, Booklist
