I guess I learned a little bit. It didn't really captivate me, and I can't tell whether that's because of the story telling style or because I'm just not all that interested in Greek mythology. Others are all into it so I thought I'd give it yet another shot. Oh well!

Really pretty artwork, but not much content about the myths.

I've been reading this one with my son over the last few months. Napoli has really brought the Greek stories to life. She has some funny commentary inserted into the stories to bring attention to some of the crazier/violent aspects of the stories. There are also some excellent extra insights into the stories, such as the science behind the sun or moon or the geography of Greece or its people and culture.
The drawings are also amazing. Beautiful and colorful. This is a great edition to our library!

Partnered with National Geographic, Donna Jo Napoli put together a great collection of stories. The artwork was beautiful and the characters had a lot of personality.
