This book is nice if you want to know the basics about Greek Mythology or to teach children. It is filled with beautiful illustrations together with a clear and easy explanation of the Greek Myths.

Really cool to see the all of the Greek Myths compiled to go along with an Ancient Civilizations lesson on the Greeks! Would be a great living book for homeschool to learn about Ancient Greece. Or for the kid that is obsessed with Rick Riordan! However, this book is definitely for upper elementary and middle grades. It will help bring history to life, but these are Greek Myths - and while some parts are glossed over - they're still not always pretty! This is not Disney's Hercules, it is the actual Greek Myths in language appropriate for children.

The illustrations are very cool and bring the text to life in an artful way!

4 mythical stars!

YOU need this book for your upper elementary student who is interested in learning more about Ancient Greece!

In the vein of D'Aulaire's Greek Myths, DK's Greek Myths is a thorough text that introduces young readers to the gods, goddesses, heroes, and stories of the ancient Greeks. While missing some of the charm of the D'Aulaires' version, mythology enthusiasts will find this book extremely detailed and enjoyable. The charts of gods and goddesses will be especially enjoyed by young mythology lovers. A perfect companion text for any elementary or middle school student who loves Rick Riordan. A must-buy for school libraries. Ages 8-14

DK's book for children, Greek Myths, was a wonderful introduction to Greek mythology. It discussed the gods individually, telling relevant stories to each, and listing what they were known for. Besides the gods and goddess it told the stories about the Greek heroes such as Odysseus and Jason. It summarized their stories into a much shorter story, still with plenty of detail.
This book was great for an introduction to, or a refresher look at Greek mythology. The stories were presented well and the illustrations were beautiful.

I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
