4-6Tales from the Odyssey series.
Illustrated by
Troy Howell.
Using short, simple sentences and a small amount of text per page, Osborne continues to retell the story of Odysseus's return in disguise to his island and his plan to attack his wife's suitors. Although the illustrations are disappointingly few and limited to ornaments and endpapers, the well-shaped story's fast pace, emotional relevance, and easy vocabulary should attract young readers.
