D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths

I purchased "D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths" for my 7-year-old son who has recently become obsessed with Greek mythology, and it has been an absolute hit! This book is truly a masterpiece that balances stunning, classic illustrations with storytelling that is perfectly accessible for his age. The way the authors introduce the gods, goddesses, and legendary heroes makes them feel so alive. My son loves flipping through the pages to learn about Zeus, Athena, and Hercules, and the detailed family trees of the gods appeal to his love for logic and organization. It’s the kind of book that we can read together before bed or that he can explore on his own for hours. If you’re looking to introduce your child to the rich world of Greek myths, this is the definitive version. It’s educational, visually beautiful, and deeply engaging—a "must-have" for any young reader's library!

I gave this book as a gift to my 9-year-old, and she loves it. The illustrations are endearing, and the text is rich while still being easy to understand.

Best way to introduce children and adults alike to the Greek myths....I read it as a teenager...introduced it to my daughter in homeschooling....have given it as a gift....colorful and engaging

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.

I find Greek mythology dark, pictures make the stories vivid, but it is dark. I read only parts of it to my 8 year old. However, it is a good book to get yourself familiar with the subject.

My husband, son and I are going to my son's college planetarium for various shows. At the end of these shows, the teacher talks about the constellations and how they are all related to the Greek Gods. I didn't know any of the stories about the Gods. Yes, I knew certain names of the Gods but did not know the stories behind them. I wanted to be more informed so that the lectures on the constellations made more sense. After researching multiple places for a book on Greek Gods, I saw this one on Amazon. It was highly rated. The stories and explanations are simple, interesting and easily understood. The pictures are cute and are drawn for younger children. It truly is a good book for a quick summary on the Gods. Also, the price is exceptional. I'm glad I purchased this book as it has helped all of us to better understand the constellation presentations .

this is the best introduction to Greek mythology for grades 5th and older. This book has been around since I was in grade school and I am 67 now. Bought the book because I never forgot it and having Greek heritage in my family, this is great for my grandchildren

It’s a long story but made kids happy

True to description. My children are thoroughly enjoying reading this & love looking at the pictures too.

We absolutely loved this book! My son had to order it for a Greek mythology class and we read through it together. The stories were captivating and fun to read. It was fascinating to learn how many of the common phrases we use today come from Greek Mythology, and learning their origin was so interesting. This book was a nice big book and had lots of great pictures to bring the stories to life on an even greater level. Highly recommend for kids and all ages!
