They have been cleaned up pretty good however I wouldn't recommend this for under 4th or 5th grades personally. This is because it sill aludes to affairs, drinking, and other issues. The illustrations are wonderful. They really catch the essence of each story and the colors are rich and vibrant. This is a good book for leaning lots of new words and names. At the back, there are good, brief discussions about all of the gods and their greek names as appropriate. Then there are notes about each story.  sroeck | Apr 12, 2009 |  use with SOTW I  melhouse | Feb 23, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
From the prize-winning author and illustrator of Greek Myths and Greek Gods and Goddesses comes this wonderfully rich and varied collection of fifteen stories from Roman mythology, freshly retold and made accessible for today's readers.
Here are all the famous myths: the birth of Venus, the founding of Rome, how the sacred geese saved the city from the Gauls -- stories that reflect the drama and the power that was Rome. Here are all the great gods and goddesses, brought vividly to life: Jupiter, the king of the gods; Juno, his wife; warrior Mars; Mercury the messenger; Diana, the goddess of hunting; as well as many of the lesser gods and goddesses who controlled every aspect of Roman life.
Emma Chichester Clark's beautiful illustrations, inspired by Roman art and culture, perfectly reflect the liveliness of Geraldine McCaughrean's retellings.
