The newest book in Black Dog's best-selling, award-winning series explores the fascinating world of Greek mythology from the myth of Narcissus to Odysseus versus the Cyclopes.

Packed with action, adventure, tragedy, and triumph, A Child'sIntroduction to Greek Mythology acquaints kids ages 9-12 with all the fantastic and memorable classic Greek myths. The book is organized into two main parts. The first section introduces the gods and goddesses, from Apollo to Hades, as well as nymphs, satyrs, centaurs, and the mortal descendents of Zeus, such as Hercules and Midas. Part two is dedicated to the myths themselves: Pandora's Box, Prometheus' Discovery of Fire, the Trojan Horse and many more. Sidebars feature word definitions and fun facts, as well as games and projects. As with all of the other books in the Child's Introduction series, Meredith Hamilton's witty and charming illustrations add yet another dimension to the excellent and absorbing text.

This is one of the best books I have seen for children about the Greek myths. I teach third graders and can't wait to share this book with them. The illustrations are very appealing and the detail given about each story is wonderful.

Ordered so many books about Greek Mythology and this was by far the best.
So well written and easily digestible for a group of 6-7 year olds.
Also loved that it included a poster/family tree, stickers, and tattoos. So masterfully done.

I bought this book for my seven year old grandson and he loved it! There is plenty of information for the older student, but there are also stories that hold everyone's attention! Aside from the content, it is a beautiful book, hard cover with sturdy pages. It is a great book to pick up and read anytime, a fact book for many of the gods and a story book!

My 7-year old granddaughter has been studying Greek mythology in school, so I chose this book to give her for Christmas. Not only does she love it, and wanted to read it immediately, but I consider it extremely well organized, which is no small feat for a subject that presents so many characters, in both their Greek and Roman names. The illustrations are very attractive, also. Perhaps the best book on mythology for children from 6 - 13 years of age.
