(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Emma Chichester Clark. Zeus and Hera's seething marital rivalry provides the frame story here, and most of the fifteen tales relate to their tricks and plots of revenge. After the introductory explanations, the myths are compelling. The cartoon-style illustrations--which vary in style and occasionally reflect ancient art--are incongruent with the larger-than-life figures and events, but they will make the book inviting to reluctant readers.
