When Odysseus goes shopping with his mom, she tells him to stay close, and he does—until he is tempted by The Odyssey–inspired play area in the mall and wanders off. He has fun at first, but when he can’t find Mom, he gets scared. Not to worry: Mom was always close behind, and, reunited, they make their way home together. Conceived and crafted by Greek-mythology expert Joan Holub and illustrated by the bestselling Leslie Patricelli, this book also includes a summary of the original journey of Odysseus.

Our 20month old spends long time reading this little book. he loves pictures and faces. it captivated him in library so I ordered one for our house also we are getting second story called Medusa, brush your hair! book does not have many words but you can expend on story from pictures and plus older sibling can tell story about real Greek Myth to your younger one. our 8y had a report about Greece and totally got the whole connection between his "studies" and this little book.

My tot loves all of the Mini Myths. If you know anything about Classical Mythology yourself, you'll enjoy reading these books to your children just to see all of the allusions.

Another bonus: my little one isn't even two yet, but she can pronounce the names 'Odysseus,' 'Pandora,' 'Athena,' 'Hercules,' 'Medusa,' and 'Aphrodite.'

5.0 out of 5 stars {My thoughts} – I really enjoy these mini myth books
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2017
{My thoughts} – I really enjoy these mini myth books.They let you share complicated life lessons with your small children in a very simple way. It is brightly colored and eye appealing. It also has easy to turn pages for small hands. At the end of each book is an explanation of the myth in a much more explanatory fashion.

In this particular book Odysseus and his mom go to the store. He wants to go and play in the play area whereas his mom tells him to stay with her. He decides that he can do what he wants and doesn’t listen and goes off and plays. He ends up getting lost. Because of that he ends up scared and cries for help. In the end his mom knew where he was and was right there to get him.

I look forward to sharing this book with my children over and over again.

The story was printed on the last page and the contents of the book leading up to that page was lack luster. Not worth the money.

My daughter loves this book, but it seems to teach children that if they run off, their mommies will follow and find them somehow. Reassuring for a very small child I suppose.

You really need to know your Greek Mythology for this book. The story is really short and has a few photos of a kid in a play place at the mall. I guess i am not create enough to teach my daughter mythology using these books.
