(4) K-3 Illustrated by Emma Trithart. Tidbits about heroes and deities, myths, lore, and legends from many different world cultures are relayed in this attractive small rectangular book. With so many topics covered, none is explored with any depth and some are given just a few sentences. The illustrations are generally bright, colorful, and expressive; on occasion, a saturated dark-color background makes the black text difficult to read.
