Monkey King and the World of Myths: The Monster and the Maze by Maple Lam

4.0

The Monkey King is a wonderful character in Chinese folklore/mythology. A trickster type of not-yet-god, WuKong seeks to become a god, so finds that he must do various tasks. This is an ongoing series, so in other books, there will be other mythological creatures he will fight. In this one he travels to ancient Greece, to battle the Minotaur, with Cerberus, who he picked up when he went to Hades.

Since the monkey king is silly, this whole story is silly, but a good adventure. There is just enough amount of adventure and danger to keep one engaged.

Cute illustrations. Two mythologies for the price of one. What more could you ask for?
