(4) K-3 The one beautiful child of a hideous sea witch, vain Medusa brings about her own downfall in this abbreviated though action-packed retelling of the legend. After jealous Athena changes Medusa into a gorgon, the focus changes to Perseus's quest to slay her. The illustrations, painted in loud colors and patterns that swirl with snakes, hair, wind, and waves, make the pages very busy.
