1.0 out of 5 stars Provocative illustrations too mature for target audience, August 4, 2008

By	Michelle Corder (McArthur, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While the idea behind this DK Reader series is great - combining superheroes with non-fiction material, they clearly forgot their audience (9-12 year olds) when illustrating Wonder Woman's Book of Myths. I bought a class set of these, and will be returning them. I'd be fired if I sent these home with the kids! The cover illustration of Wonder Woman in a barely-there costume is just the tip of the iceburg - all of the images of women in this book are sexed-up and scantily clad.
