Treasury of Greek Mythology: Classic Stories of Gods, Goddesses, Heroes & Monsters Hardcover – Illustrated, October 11, 2011

I got this for my 10 year old who is very interested in learning about Mythology. I was so pleased with the book when it came. The price was outstanding and I loved the approach to the Greek Gods and Goddesses. It gave a clear picture of their roles and the illustrations were very good. Not too complicated for a young person. I know she will enjoy it.

Great book with really nice pictures. Great starting point for learning Greek mythology.

I liked the complete version of stories. I've been a fan of Rick and the olympians. This book had p beautiful descriptions which were like poetry.

*****"This is a book meant to dazzle its readers-And it does." The New York TimesThe new National Geographic Treasury of Greek Mythology, got the "School Library Journal Best Books of 2011, is 2012 Notable Children's Books! Astonishingly, it did not dazzle me, a retired reviewer, it enthralled my being, it captivated me. For three years, since Noah, my grandson was four, I started the search for those dreamland books which mesmerized me, since I was four, before learning to read, its magical drawings recounted it all.Greek mythology was Jacobs ladder for me, even early on I just enjoyed the troubadourary, it opened magical worlds filled with stories of courage, bravery, war, deceit, revenge and love.Just recently I encountered a mother and grandie, a mathematician and linguist with a Ph D that whose love for mythology is greater than mine. Her seventy books on folklore and fairy tales, and her mat hits prove it.Brought to life with amazing colored drawings, and lyrical text by Grandma Donna Jo Napoli, award-winning author, who paired with Artist Christina Balit, the gifted inspirational artist, who illustrated a stunning artwork for the amazing tales of mythical gods, goddesses, monsters and heroes. Aphrodite, Apollo, and Athena, Perseus, and Medusa will fascinate and entertain children's intellect and grow their imagination.

Great book! Colourful pictures, good information and fun to read. Great quality and fast shipping. Thank you.
