This book is most appropriate for children in middle school. It is a great way to introduce students to the gods/goddesses and their journeys. In the book there is a glossary to help students navigate certain terms that may be difficult.
A classical collection of Greek deities, this text is used by teachers to introduce students to who the gods/goddesses were as well as their adventures. This short, colorful edition also includes a glossary to help students navigate the text. Specific to the Greek gods and goddesses, this resource would appeal to young readers who want a quick, fun, classical view into the Greek legends.
This book, The Greek Gods, is about all the gods starting with Zeus and ending with Aphrodite. It tells on how they lived from liitle to big. And it also tells what makes each god known. Starting with defeating their father to being the one who controls the under world. It tells great stories.
I like this book because even if we don't know if these stories are true they are still very cool to here. I mean, wouldn't be cool if there really were gods who basically controled every thing. And who really knows, maybe there is some one who does. I guess that that is just something that is to be kept a mystery.

GIves a overview of all the gods and one story that went along with them. This is for young adults, it does not have many pictures and is to the point.
Descriptions and stories of Greek gods.
I got this book in elementary school and still read it today. I love it!
