BOB ABERNETHY: The market for books on religion and spirituality has remained bullish all year, and among the best-sellers, books aimed at the moral and spiritual education of children. Hoping to take advantage of the popularity, many publishers are releasing creative new products for kids this holiday season. We decided to take a look.

It's a pretty good bet that books about religion and spirituality will be on many holiday shopping lists this year. Experts say baby boomers especially have been buying these books in record numbers, both for themselves and for their children and grandchildren. Many are looking for help in teaching kids about religion.

MEG ATHA (Politics and Prose): I all the time see people, parents and grandparents, sitting in the section in rocking chairs, on the floor, sitting with their child, reading it out loud and sort of making sure the material is appropriate before they purchase it.

ABERNETHY: There's something for almost everyone. Children's Bibles remain the most popular, with millions of Bibles and Bible storybooks sold every year. This year Zondervan Publishing has released new rhyming Bible storyboard books for the very young, and the AMAZING TREASURE BIBLE STORYBOOK in cartoon format for the older kids. There's also a new cartoon book-and-video line called FRANCESCO'S FRIENDLY WORLD. It's produced by Lyric Studios, the company that produces the popular BARNEY AND FRIENDS. Francesco, the hero of the new line, was inspired by St. Francis of Assisi.
