Sirens and Sea Monsters

(4) 4-6 Tales from the Odyssey series. Illustrated by Troy Howell. In simple, accessible prose, with the text on each page kept invitingly brief, Osborne recounts a few episodes from Homer's Odyssey: the Sirens, Scylla and Charybdis, and the cattle of Helios. Foreshadowing helps readers keep track of their place in the narrative. However, the illustrations (a map, portraits of the gods, and a chapter-head ornament) are disappointingly meager. Pronunciation guides are included.
