My son received this book three days ago and has not put it down. This is the classic introductory book for kids.
she has since read book #1 of the percy jackson series and found it to be a cool and amusing modern twist of the ancient greek myths. her interest in greek mythology really soared when she started reading this book. my daughter loves this book. she plans to continue with that series. the illustrations are beautiful. we have been reading about the ancient greeks as well, which adds another dimension to her understanding of these stories. Re: this book, i highly recommend it.
This book is great for young kids interested in Greek Myths. Lot of fun to read as a family.
Of course, there are many good (and great). This book should be required reading for every boy and girl, and everyone else who hasn't read it. Plus it is fascinating entertainment read aloud. versions and translations of Greek Myths, but this is a very accessible tale for most. I should have bought a gross of this book to start with, as I have given so many away.
The drawings are fantastic and the stories well told. I was given this book in 4th grade. I'm now 39 years old and can vividly remember both the pictures and stories. I can't wait until my children are old enough to share this book with me. Highly recommended.
