Review: An interesting way to spark little ones interest in Homeric epic! The inclusion of Telemus seemed a bit obscure and caught me out but my 10 month old loves the book.

Review: There is literally no story in this book. I don't understand how other commentators think this book is so great. The illustrations of the characters are nice - by the way half of the illustrations are not of monsters, there are two sea nymphs, Telemus the soothsayer, Circe the witch, and ghosts. Why do they mention the soothsayer who is a really minor character, but they don't even bother to mention Odysseus. With each illustration there is a tiny sentence. Under the Lotus Eaters all they say is "Nom nom." Fine if you want a picture book, but if you want something with an actual text forget it.
