Some of the test was complicated to follow, but the illustrations and information has been some of the better roman myths put on paper for elementary kids. ( )

Collection of Roman Myths. good illustrations but not historically referenced, a little cartoonish

This book retells several of the most famous Roman myths, introducing the major gods and goddesses and their stories. The book would be appropriate for 1-3 grade classes if selected stories were chosen and read aloud by the teacher. Grades 4 -6 could read and enjoy this book independently. This book could be used to introduce mythology or inspire creative writing prompts. The book addresses the issue of origin.

There are 15 Roman myths in this book. They have been cleaned up pretty good however I wouldn't recommend this for under 4th or 5th grades personally. This is because it sill aludes to affairs, drinking, and other issues. The illustrations are wonderful. They really catch the essence of each story and the colors are rich and vibrant. This is a good book for leaning lots of new words and names. At the back, there are good, brief discussions about all of the gods and their greek names as appropriate. Then there are notes about each story.
