Reviews"This is the kind of rich but accessible reference work school librarians love. It's  also likely to stimulate fact-obsessed Percy Jackson fans as well as children who have been ordered to research their school papers offline....

  • Great Book for your Collection

    This is a great book to begin or start your collection on God's and Goddesses. Very informative with beautiful artwork displayed throughout the book. Simple enough for a grade schooler to get enjoyment from it, as well as an adult looking to expand their knowledge. I definitely recommend this book.

  • A keeper kind of book. Beautiful, colorful illustrations

    Yes! It’s a keeper kind of book. Beautiful colorful illustrations and is written so both an adult and maybe 10+ child could read and enjoy it. I think even a younger child would love the stories but would have to have it read to them Exactly what I was looking for
