Rating:  Summary: An easy intro to Homer's tales! Review: Because my kids have learned so much from the Magic Tree House Series, I read this aloud to my 7 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Both were fascinated. We read this in one day, because we all wanted to find out what happened next! (They did find the One-Eyed Giant pretty scary, so I wouldn't recommend it for kids prone to nightmares.)Also, I appreciated the glossary, to help with pronouncing names. I'll definitely get the others in this series -- Excellent!
Rating:  Summary: Fun to read together as a family! Review: Mary Pope Osborne does an excellant job of retelling the infamous tale on a level that children (and adults!) can enjoy. My husband and I read the books to our two sons. They looked forward to it every evening. The books had a lot of action so they were never bored with the story and couldn't wait to hear what happened next! We are waiting anxiuosly for the final book #6 to be released.

Rating:  Summary: I read it in one day it was so good! Review: This book was exciting, tense and kept me reading it. I love Ms. Osborne's style of writing. I ran out and bought the 2nd book the next day, and finished it that day. My favorite part was when they met the one eyed giant. Austin Age 10
Rating:  Summary: Great intro to Greek Mythology - but very short book Review: This is a great way to introduce your child to Greek mythology. My 8 year old daughter read this book in 2 hours. My only complaint is that they used huge letters and spacings on the pages. There is more text per page in the Magic Tree House books. This book is really comparable to a 70 page chapter book and costs more.
