      Summary:classic stories of Gods, Goddesses, Heroes & MonstersPersonal reflection; I realy like this book it has all the greek mythology, map of Greece,time line, and cast of charactersClassroom use; absolutely must have for class room. The illustration is amazing and children will just enjoy flipping threw looking at the pictures and getting introduce to mythology. Better suited for 5 Th graders an older.

      I have read most, if not all, of these myths in their original forms and WOW did Napoli destroy them. Most are horribly watered down, or pared down to almost nothing, or censored, or just completely butchered. What a crappy, crappy collection!
    • 4/5
      The stories were heavily edited for a child audience, but I still gave it a 4-star rating because of the beautiful illustrations. There's just something about the artwork that really appeals to me and it was a plus that there are nearly as many pictures as there are pages of text.

      This is a nice collection of Greek myths and the illustrations are beautiful. I'd love to have a copy of this in my classroom someday.Plus, it has my name in it. ;)

      Partnered with National Geographic, Donna Jo Napoli put together a great collection of stories. The artwork was beautiful and the characters had a lot of personality.

      A good rundown on the the major players and happenings in Greek mythology. Good for getting a grasp on the subject.
