"Such a cute book. When I saw it at a bookshop out in the city I thought of it as a perfect book to ready to children. However, of course as I continued to read, it revealed to appeal to slightly older kids do to the choice in wording. Still a magnificent book to read as a bed time story or even to freshen your mind in a short yet sweet way on Greek Mythology stories. Absolutely loved the read, coming from a 19yo! "
