The Incredible Voyage of Ulysses

(4) 4-6 This oversize picture book, formatted like a graphic novel, retells Homer's The Odyssey. Clipped cadences describe the Greek hero's voyage home after the Trojan War: "Ulysses seeks among the waves / The invisible route to Ithaca." The somber illustrations' elongated figures and variegated hues may be off-putting to some, but the helpful panel-to-panel arrows keep readers on track.
