Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Sleeping Bear Press has created a number of clever picture books that provide unexpected, clever takes on standard topics. Here, the attempt is to provide an overview the elements of Greek mythology that is suitable for preschoolers. The topic does not really match the audience. So many of the Greek myths deal with fairly mature topics (e.g., beasts chasing maidens, the underworld) that telling any such tale requires extensive background information. The text attempts to cover enormous ground by combining a short, rhymed passage that would be appropriate for the target audience with several paragraphs of side matter that early readers would probably not understand. The material might work well for older elementary school children studying mythology, but they would likely be put off by the childish rhyming passage. The illustrations would also be more appealing to older readers. All in all, this is a good collection of information that lacks a clear connection to a specific audience.

From The Critics

Gr 4-6

In the typical series style, Greek mythology is explored. Each letter is featured in a rhymed verse, some more successful than others. On sidebars, the concept or story is explored further, making the book suitable for children seeking additional information on the subject. While mainly focused on myths, the text also delves into lifestyles and history. Some readers may be confused as to the difference between actual Greek history and mythology, yet there is still an abundance of detail held within these pages; the "Glossary of Gods" does help in sorting out the characters. Coupled with the advanced text, the humorous and sometimes bawdy watercolor cartoons put this into the older age range, though the picture-book format may be off-putting for this audience. A mixed bag for larger collections.-Angela J. Reynolds, Annapolis Valley Regional Library, Bridgetown, NS, Canada
