Summary: Mother of a 5YO boy says this is an AWESOME book!
Review: I was given this book (and it's matching stickers and magnets) as a xmas gift for my 5YO son who loves dinosaurs and monsters and now he is OBSESSED with it and wants it read to him every day! It has totally gotten him interested in greek mythology and given him a very impressive knowledge of the characters that most adults can't claim. He even asked to go to the library for more books on greek mythology - i got a few but nothing can hold a candle to this one. it's just so geared towards kids and is written in a lively, fun and conversational style - the illustrations are great too. I'm going to give it as a gift whenever i get the chance!
