We read this together as part of our mythology kick we have been on. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed all the detailed end notes. I would like her to put together another one with more stories.

Greek myths that you can read like fairy tales.

I think it's dumb how she uses the Roman names of the gods instead. The book is called "Favorite GREEK Myths", not "Favorite Roman Myths". If it's a book about Greek mythology, she should use the Greek names. It confuses me, and it's really annoying.

recommends it for:
5th grade readers and up
Excellent version for my 6th grade classroom. Challenging vocabulary, and of course interesting themes! Had encouraged great discussion during our reading block because kids were easily able to connect with the text.

I fell in love with Greek mythology because of this book. And I knew all the references when I read Homer, Virgil, Milton, etc., in college!
