Treasury of Greek Mythology: Classic Stories of Gods, Goddesses, Heroes and Monsters

Read this with my daughter, touching off an insatiable appetite for more myths in her. Napoli is writing very short (3-5 pages) tales of gods and heroes, all set off by gorgeous poster-sized illustrations by Christina Balit. Napoli's language is contemporary and she tells the stories with economy and humor. Perfect for early readers, particularly those with a taste for monsters.
