Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-3?This simplified version of Hercules's adventures follows the myth accurately, but in a pedestrian manner. Though the bones are here, the life has been squeezed out of the story. The watercolor illustrations show a blond, muscular Hercules scantily clad, sporting the skin of the Nemean lion. Generously featured on every page, the action takes place in these garden-variety pictures. Little mention of the Olympians, plus the absence of Greek place names, gives this work the tone of Saturday afternoon television.?Angela J. Reynolds, West Slope Community Library, Portland, OR
