D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths for a new generation, this beautifully illustrated selection from Ovid's Metamorphoses will introduce kids to some of the well trodden myths alongside the less while known stories of transformation.-- This lovely retelling of the Roman poet Ovid's masterwork Metamorphoses will introduce these stories to a whole new generation of readers. The emphasis here is on Ovid's telling, a facet that's often missing from mythology collections for children...Readers hungry for stories filled with mythological beings will appreciate these novel entries and Janish's text (via Wilson's translation) is lyrical, suspenseful, and strange. -- Each of these mythical stories is rhapsodically illustrated and adds a dreamlike quality to the seventeen stories... -- Seattle Book Review
