Description

Follow Hermes on 100 unforgettable journeys across the fascinating, colourful world of Greek mythology. The young god is determined to have adventures from the very moment of his unusual birth, stealing sacred cows, discovering fire and inventing the lyre and flute. With his tumbling brown curls and cheerful fearlessness, he charms his fellow gods: mighty Apollo, mournful Artemis, beautiful Aphrodite, and even the king of the gods, his father, Zeus himself. He will drink the nectar of Olympus and discover the truth about the immortals, from their first moments and worst monsters to their greatest loves and most terrible battles-but Hermes won't let any of it distract him from that whole wide world of good fun...

I had hoped that this would be good for kids, since mine are learning mythology. I found that it was ok...being read aloud with a little editing here and there. It was not the read-alone book I had hoped for. That said, the kids really enjoyed the stories, so it's a good read-aloud!

What a wonderful spin on classic mythology. This was a very fast read and will delight any lover of the classic myths. This is well suited to younger and older readers alike. I think it would be great as a parent-child read together book or as a read aloud in part of a lesson. I will certainly pick up a copy for my school library.
