D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths Paperback – March 1, 1992

perfect

I loved reading D’alulares Greek Mythology, this book blends fiction with truth so well that it creates a great series for short stories into a nicely compiled book. The illustrations are also awesome. It’s great ti see the history of Greece through these myths. If you’re fancied by any-type of mythology, this is a must read.

A wonderful collection of myths for children!

Beautiful illustrations! A book to cherish

I told my kid about Medusa and it sparked an interest. I got a handful of books from the library and D'Aulaires was by far the winner, even for a young child. The book is a good balance between storytelling, pictures, detail, but not *too* much detail. It covers enough material to tie different pieces together. I enjoyed reading it. We read it cover to cover and started over. I finally bought a copy when we had to return the library book.I withheld 5 stars because the cover shown here is not the actual cover. It's the dust jacket. The real cover is a solid blue underneath. The library's copy had the actual picture on it. I like the blue cover better but having the picture on the cover would have been nice. Dust jackets are impractical when dealing with young children and sight recognition is helpful.I'll give a shoutout to the Mordicai Gerstein books as well.

I remember reading this book in middle school and checking it out from the library. Every chance I got. It is by far one of my favorite Greek mythology books. The illustrations are awesome and the story interpretations are classic.

Was a delight to get this book and it was in such great condition too!

Young children are pulled in by the well-adapted stories and intriguing illustrations.
