5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book for introducing Greek mythology, January 22, 2007
This review is from: Greek Gods And Goddesses (Hardcover)
The book's colorful illustrations and straight forward text makes this book great for a child's first introduction to mythology. I read this outloud to my 6 year old and she loved it. She could have read it by herself but she would not have been able to understand who the characters were. There is a glossary of gods and goddesses in the back but the stories themselves pretty much assume you know who they are. If you are buying this for a young child like mine make sure that you know the stories (or read them ahead of time) as they are still Greek mythology and some stories are violent. Also, some of the stories drag on for a couple of paragraphs after what "feels" like should be the end of the story. Overall, a great book and definate must have.
