Editorial Reviews

Greek myths are now easy to understand for the young reader. The story of the hero Odysseus is enhanced with vivid illustrations so a struggling reader can always look at the pictures to see who is acting and what is going on in the story. This is a wonderful introduction to the ancient myths of Greek civilization. Each page takes the young reader through the adventures of Odysseus. Readers join Odysseus on his travels and encounters with other Greek characters such as Polyphemus, Circe, Charybdis, and Calypso, among others. Each of the adventures has an "Ask the storyteller" question with answer. The questions for the storyteller are insightful and appropriate for a young reader. A table of contents, introduction, glossary, a "who's who" with pronunciation key, and an index are included. This book is one of the six titles in the "Ancient Myths" series. 2005 (orig. 2004), Picture Window Books, Ages 8 up.
