Great addition to the podcast
My son loves the podcast, and was overjoyed to receive this book. He requests it just about every night, and we often find him it reading on his own. The book is great quality, full color pictures and very engaging. If you are a fan of Greeking Out, this is a must have!

Great for Greek Mythology lovers
My 14 year old Greek mythology loving grandchild squealed when they unwrapped this book at Christmas! It was not on their Wish Lists as they thought it was out of price range request but was actually at top of their desire! So glad I found on Amazon and ordered for them. They were able to explain better to their younger siblings (11 and 4) the different Greek gods stories in terms they understood.

Recommended by my 7yo
7yo son devoured the book during an intense (percy jackson inspired) phase of interest in ancient Greece. Well written, have purchased as present for his friend's on sons recommendation.

Can't get enough
We started listening to the Greeking Out podcast about a year and a half ago, and of course immediately bought the first book when it came out last year. It has been well read, and we were excited to see a book 2 coming out! This one lives up to the first, puns included. Fun and accessible retellings of the greatest stories of all time.

A great accompaniment to the podcast
My daughter LOVES the podcast and has been delighted with the book. Some of the stories are the same as the podcast, but that doesn't seem to detract from it in any way

Get it if you love the podcast
Our daughter loves the podcast and this book definitely follows the style - well worth it and she has gone back and re-read a number of times. Excellent start point for both children and adults to begin learning about Greek Mythology in a family friendly format. Colorful and modern illustrations make the subject matter approachable for a young audience.
