The thing I liked most (and it caused me to purchase this book) was the family tree (in full color) of the most important gods, goddesses, etc. The family tree is a separate piece of paper added to the book via an envelope on the inside cover. I thought it would add clarity to the morass of Greek gods and goddesses. I was disappointed because the info wasn't as clear as I'd hoped.
Children will enjoy the stickers (Apollo, Heracles, Ares, Nike, Dionysus, Hermes, Artemis, Pan, and the Three Graces) and temporary tattoos of gods , goddesses, monsters and mythical creatures (Pegasus, Zeus, Amazon, Harquis, Griffin, Chimera, Eros, Poseidon, Gorgon, Athena).
This is the first time I've added a criticism of this kind; the font on the titles of the different stories (the chapters) was hard to read. I had to figure out the names listed in the story, so I could read them. Also, the font of the numbers (pages of the book) was also hard to read.
The pronunciation guide of the Greek names was a real help.
