(4) 4-6 Graphic Library: Ancient Myths series. Illustrated by Estudio Haus. Three ancient myths are retold with energetic American comic book–style art that fits the stories' superhuman action. However, Haus's mix of panels with (and often atop) full-page illustrations hinders the books' visual flow. A limited page count makes Trojan War feel rushed, whereas Hercules and Perseus fit somewhat better within the constraints. "Ancient Fact" boxes supplement the narratives. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Graphic Library: Ancient Myths titles: The Trojan War, The 12 Labors of Hercules, and The Adventures of Perseus.

(3) K-3 Short Tales: Native American Myths series. Illustrated by Estudio Haus. Each of these titles tells one unembroidered, straightforward Native American story about the world's creation or some natural phenomenon, introduced by brief information about the tribe from whence it emanated. There is nothing exceptional about these small-trimmed offerings, though the mythology is nicely distilled for younger children. The color-saturated, active illustrations recall those of graphic novels. Review covers these Native American Myths titles: The Colors of a Sunset, Coyote, Iktome, and the Rock, How the World was Made, and Sky Woman and the Big Turtle.
