Book Description:

March 1, 1992 8 and up3 and up
No education is complete without a large slice of Greekmythology. Andthere's no better way of meeting that literary quotathan with theD'Aulaires' book. All the great gods and goddesses ofancient Greeceare depicted in this big, beautiful classic, lovinglyillustrated andskillfully told. Young readers will be dazzled bymighty Zeus, lord ofthe universe; stirred by elegant Athena, goddessof wisdom; intimidatedby powerful Hera, queen of Olympus; and chilledby moody Poseidon,ruler of the sea. These often impetuous immortalsflounce and frolic,get indiscreet, and get even. From petty squabblesto heroic deeds,their actions cover the range of godly--andmortal--personalities.

The D'Aulaires' illustrations have a memorable quality: once pored over, they will never leave the minds of the viewer. Decades later,thename Gaea will still evoke the soft green picture of lovely Mother Earth, her body hills and valleys and her eyes blue lakes reflecting the stars of her husband, Uranus the sky. No child is too young to appreciate the myths that have built the foundation for much of the world's art and literature over the centuries.This introduction to mythology is a treasure. (Ages 10 to adult) --Emilie Coulter
