*Greek Myths by Marcia Williams. Candlewick, 2011. Ages 4-up.
Reading Level: Picture Books, Ages 4-8, Ages 8-10, Ages 10-12
Williams has done a number of books like this on classic subjects, including the Illiad, the Odyssey, Ancient Egypt and Shakespeare. I can’t vouch for the content of all of them, but this book really helped whet my children’s appetites to learn more about Greek culture. It also helped them think through many good moral questions.
Cautions: Violence (not graphic), Supernatural (false gods), Dark/Depressing (death, disappointment)
