Reach for this book when your child starts asking the big 'why' questions about the natural world or shows an interest in how people from different cultures explained the mysteries of life. It provides a structured yet exciting entry point for children who are beginning to explore historical narratives and the concept of justice, consequence, and human nature through the lens of ancient storytelling. This classic Usborne introduction covers the foundational figures of Greek and Norse mythology, including Zeus, Athena, and Odin. While the adventures are filled with monsters and magic, the emotional core focuses on bravery, the dangers of pride, and the balance between good and evil. It is a perfect bridge for 8 to 12-year-olds who are ready for more complex character motivations and vocabulary than standard fairytales offer, providing a rich cultural literacy that will serve them across all future humanities studies.
