Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great Resource Comment: This is a "must have" for a kid working on a mythology project. Interesting, accurate and informative. Customer Rating: Summary: Grrek Myths Comment: A book that is part of my Lang Arts classroom when we talk about Mythology in class. Thank you! Customer Rating: Summary: my favorite elementary library time book EVAR Comment: from the first illustration of Gaia this book had me at hello! i checked this book out time and time again from the school library and poured over its pictures and stories of the Greek Gods and Goddesses. It was from then on that i wanted to rename myself Persephone! a must for imaginative and curious children! Customer Rating: Summary: The first book I bought with my own money! Comment: I bought this all by myself when I was eight years old (25 years ago!) and it's still here on my shelf, musty, dusty, taped together and well-loved. It was great as a starting foundation for cultural literacy - for learning enough to understand Classical themes in art or other literature. The illustrations are so engrossing and to this day when I open the book I find that I remember the tiniest details of every drawing. This is a book I would enthusiastically give to any child. Customer Rating: Summary: Spellbound Comment: My seven year old daughter was spellbound by the prose and the drawings in this wonderful version of the Greek myths. More Reviews
