(3) 1-3 Little Goddess Girls series. This early chapter-book series by the Goddess Girl series creators is a Greek mythology/Wizard of Oz mash-up. Young Athena is swept up in a storm and transported to a land where her nemesis, Medusa, wants her magical sandals. Hestia, Zeus, and Persephone have supporting roles along the "Hello Brick Road." Energetic black-and-white illustrations match the text's lively tone. Glos.

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Aaron Blecha. Designed to assist readers transitioning to longer, more complex texts, this reformatted chapter-book edition (previously published as picture book The Frog Principal) includes character and word lists, table of contents, story questions, and abundant black-and-white cartoons by new illustrator Blecha. Based on "The Frog Prince," the story about a beloved principal who is accidentally transformed into a frog but continues his job is silly and well paced.
