Greek Myths for Young Children (Usborne Myths and Legends)

This is a lovely book to teach children Greek mythology. It’s a hard back and my five year old loved it.

i have been looking for a greek myth book for my 2 children aged 5 and 8. i have come across many versions, but most of them are either too complicated or wordy, or the illustrations may not be as child friendly, ( i came across a few that have illustrations that look like you are in a video console game) this book is perfect!! the stories are short, usually 2-3 pages, and perfect for bed time stories. they are written in very simple english, suitable for my older one to read for herself, or for me to read to them. they also have an index at the end to teach you how to pronounce all the complicated names! one of the best buys ever!

Good but I preferred Usborne Illustrated Stories from the Greek Myths because it contains more colourful illustrations which explain and help young children to understand what happens.

Bought this to entertain my 2 year old Grandson. It has been a hit since day one and the quality of the book means that he can handle it and not destroy the pages. He adores the pictures and works through them pointing out each tiny element. The details and "hidden" things (snakes, birds, butterflies) excite him every time he turns the page. We have had the book for 3 months and this is the best value book I have ever bought for him.

Lovely book, well illustrated and stories are child friendly, my grandson 6 loved it

The book itself is beautiful, great illustrations and superb story telling however please be advised that the stories can be quite disturbing for young children. By page 8 we have someone chained up and left to have his liver torn out by eagles! You have been warned! Would advise reading the book yourself first so you can judge if it is suitable for your young person.

Excellent. My daughter 8 was glued to it and loved reading the stories. The pictures are great although I would have liked them bigger and more spectacular. My daughter is very happy with it so that’s all that counts

Very good book. And written in way which is easy for Children to understand. Once again I suggest 7+ age for this book. But the myths are written in very good and relateable manner for children. The names of the characters are obviously hard to pronounce for younger children but overall the book is easy enough to read and understand.

My son really enjoys these stories. Good for nighttime.
