Mini Myths: Don't Get Lost, Odysseus! (Mini Myths) 
by Joan Holub , Leslie Patricelli (Illustrations) 



 Accurate re-tellings of Mythology these stories are NOT.

Super-cute and wonderful Board Books anyway? Why, yes! Yes they are!

 Using the names and the core element of a classic Greco-Roman mythological tale, these Mini Myths talk to pre-schoolers. Odysseus gets lost, Pandora touches something she shouldn't, Icarus isn't careful.

These tales are couched in terms the little ones understand. Then, at the back, a more accurate summary of the actual tale is given, again at kid level. HIGHLY recommend this super stinking cute series.

 ALSO: diverse cast and characters through the series
