Pandora by Robert Burleigh
4.0
Admittedly, I do not have a good foundation in Greek mythology, something I frequently regret in my vast reading. This picture book was an incredible way to absorb Pandora’s mythical tale. As always, I was enchanted by Raúl Colón’s illustrations which melded perfectly with a story from so, so long ago.
My only critique of the book is that I worry that parents may be lured into thinking it is good for toddlers and young children because it is in picture book form. If a focus is placed on the art and words are edited down in the reading, it could be a good introduction. However, this telling will be appreciated more by older children and adults, those with a more developed vocabulary and a tolerance for more lengthy stories.
