Shuaib عليه السلام was sent to the people of Madyan, and the sin he was sent to correct was not idolatry alone. It was cheating in the market — short weights, short measures, giving people less than they had paid for.

Because it establishes early that honesty in dealings is a matter of religion rather than of manners. Shuaib عليه السلام called his people to worship Allah alone and to give full measure, in the same breath, as though the two belonged together.
They do. A child who takes that in has understood something about Islam that a great many adults have not.
Told in rhyme: the calling, the mockery, the threat to drive him out, and what came to Madyan in the end.
Simple full-color illustrations accompany rhyming poetry that is fun to read aloud and surprisingly easy to remember — which is the point. A child who has heard a story in verse a dozen times can recite parts of it back, and what he can recite he retains.
Each book carries an "Islamictionary": a simplified children's glossary explaining the Arabic and Islamic words as they appear. That single feature is why the books work in non-Arabic-speaking households, where a parent reading aloud otherwise has to stop and improvise a definition.
Hard, durable full-color pages with the picture on the left and the text on the right. Each book is 8 x 5 inches and three-quarters of an inch thick — built for the handling a favorite book gets.
Fifteen titles, each on one Prophet, all in the same rhyming format:
